In the second episode of this two-part series, Clare is joined once again by Erica Thornton, CEO of the Breck Foundation, to discuss young people and online grooming.
In Part 2, they talk about some of the warning signs of online grooming that practitioners, parents, and carers can look out for, and what to do if there are any concerns. They also explore the importance of trying to keep an open, curious mindset.
