New resources on Child Exploitation and Online Harm
The Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Barber has announced new resources available to councils, schools, parents and carers and others as part of his education strategy under the Violence Prevention Partnership programme (VPP).
Two short videos have been produced, one on child exploitation and the other on online harm, prepared using subject matter experts and drawn from the lived experience of victims. They have been funded through the Violence Prevention Partnership and complement its offer for professionals and those working with young people.
We are asking partners and organisations that work towards protecting and supporting children and young people to help us disseminate these two videos through your websites, social media, newsletters and other platforms.
Victims of crime and their families can access support through the Office of the PCC’s Victims First Service, which provides free and confidential support through a helpline, chat function and website. It gives emotional and practical guidance, as well as signposting victims to specialised support
