Project:
467
Description:
Child sexual abuse is increasingly facilitated online, including by offenders who create, maintain or enable abusive digital networks and services.
Desired Outcome:
Effective online prevention, disruption and prosecution, with platform duties, enforcement capability and rapid safeguarding pathways.
What Could Go Wrong:
Offenders may adapt faster than enforcement, scale abuse through online systems and expand victim access across geographies.
Current Situation:
The Casey audit said online offending has increased, the Online Safety Act places safety duties on services, and the Crime and Policing Bill includes a new offence for relevant internet activity intended to facilitate child sexual abuse.
Action Strategy:
Strengthen digital investigation capacity, enforce platform duties, target facilitators and administrators, and integrate online intelligence with local safeguarding.
