Globally there has been an increase in reports of children and young people being victims of financially motivated sexual extortion, often referred to in the media as 'sextortion'.
The National Crime Agency's CEOP Education, in partnership with UK Safer Internet Centre, have created guidance for further education settings in response to this threat.
The guidance comes with:
- A letter to distribute to parents and carers
- A poster for display across further education settings
The guidance will help further education professionals to:
- recognise and understand financially motivated sexual extortion
- raise awareness and help seeking behaviours amongst young people
- give suitable messaging and support to parents and carers
- support victims of financially motivated sexual extortion
