Victim support
Every child has a right to protection from exploitation or abuse, including online.
For those that have been abused, a child protection response is required in the short and longer term. To support and protect children, relevant, timely and individualised child-centred, multi-sectoral crisis response services should be provided to all child victims of sexual exploitation and abuse (and their families).
Victims and survivors are also vital to understanding the impact of child sexual exploitation and abuse online, and informing the response. Removing abusive material is critical for victims, to avoid any further trauma caused by sharing the material.
