Capacity building
Identifying, recruiting and training appropriate staff in child protection and law enforcement are critical to prevent sexual exploitation and abuse online, and protect children.
Dedicated law enforcement officers, prosecutors and the judiciary need specific expertise in tackling child sexual exploitation and abuse online and developing solutions for investigating content.
A dedicated capability can help ensure that law enforcement is able to respond effectively, secure successful prosecutions, increase the number of victims protected and disrupt offending. It can also provide the public and professionals with greater confidence to report child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Methods used by online abusers are constantly developing; to be effective, officers and prosecutors need to keep up with or ahead of developments. This includes having a detailed understanding of encrypted content as well as collaboration, sharing tools, platforms and software.
