Collaboration

Coordinated action between different sectors, industries and countries is needed to prevent child sexual exploitation and abuse online, and safeguard children.

Online-facilitated exploitation and abuse crosses borders with ease; an aligned, international response is vital.

Information-sharing and collaborative targeting enables better decisions and more efficient prevention, early intervention and effective response. Open collaboration from the outset helps to improve the chances of success in preventing abuse and protecting children.

This includes shared access to international databases, particularly those regarding child sexual abuse material and offender targeting methodologies; formal data-sharing frameworks; high value collective targeting; and criminal records databases.
