This sensitive guide for carers and professionals working with
children and young people explains the serious issues of sexual
content and harm that children face online. Covering technologies used
by children aged two through to adulthood, it offers clear,
evidence-based information about sexual-based online harm, its effects
and what adults can do to support children should they see, hear or
bear witness to these events online. Catherine Knibbs, specialist
advisor in the field, explains the issues involved when using online
platforms and devices in family, social and educational settings. The
guide offers an accessible explanation of how online harm impacts
developmental, neurological and social development, as well as young
people’s mental health and well-being. Examined in as
non-traumatising a way as possible, the book covers key topics,
including consent, pornography, online grooming, sexting, live
streaming, revenge porn, ASD sexuality and gender, and vigilantism.
Offering guidance and proactive and reactive strategies based on
neuroscience and child development, it shows how e-safety is not
one-size-fits-all and must consider the vulnerabilities of individual
children and families. Children and Sexual-Based Online Harms will
equip professionals and carers with the knowledge to support their
work and to direct conversations about the online harms that children
and young people face. It is essential reading for those training and
working with children in psychological, educational and social work
contexts, as well as parents, policy makers and those involved in the
development of online technologies.
