The potential impact of online harm in the lives of children and young people across Scotland and the world is ever present. Concerns are widely shared and no more so than by those who have a responsibility to care for children and protect them. The increasing risk of online sexual abuse is a particular focus of calls for new legislation and action, so what do we need to know to prevent harm and support children and young people?
Join us on Friday 21 June for a multi-agency look at what is happening as we hear from:
- A/Detective Superintendent Carron McKellar, Police Scotland
- Chris Hughes, the Internet Watch Foundation
- Stuart Allardyce, the Lucy Faithfull Foundation Scotland
In conversation with Claire Burns, Director of CELCIS, they will discuss new risks, including from Artificial Intelligence (AI), and what is being done to take action on offending. There will also be space for questions from attendees.
The CELCIS Emerging Insights Series offers attendees the opportunity to:
- Access new thinking, research, insight and perspectives on emerging issues
- Think, learn, engage and ask questions with leaders and practitioners responsible for children’s protection and care
- Learn about emerging issues and insight with the opportunity for them to pursue further reading and engagement through existing published resources.
