“Sexual abuse imagery of children aged 11-13 is most prevalent (IWF2021)”

As the above statistic demonstrates:

Online Sexual Abuse is a growing threat to Children and Young people’s safety and wellbeing. Increasing numbers of Children and Young people have access to devices at younger and younger ages. Perpetrators of sexual harm exploit adult ignorance about online harm and how perpetration in the online world occurs.
