Professionals across Jersey are invited to attend a series of free webinars in October, delivered as part of the Jersey Stop It Now deterrence campaign.
The campaign, run by child protection charity Lucy Faithfull Foundation, aims to prevent child sexual abuse, raise awareness of online sexual offending against children and help people access confidential and anonymous support.
The four webinars will explore different aspects of child sexual abuse prevention and safeguarding, including online offending, working with victims and survivors, harmful sexual behaviour among young people, and preventing offending and reoffending.
