Could you tell if your child was being exploited

Avon and Somerset Police are offering free online awareness sessions for parents across Somerset to help you understand the growing risks of child exploitation — and how to spot the signs early.

Could you tell if your child was being exploited?

Join one of our upcoming sessions led by Child Exploitation Prevention Officer, Andri Nicolaou.

During the session, you’ll learn about:

  • The different forms of child exploitation
  • How offenders groom and exploit children online and offline
  • Key warning signs that a child may be at risk
  • Practical steps you can take to help keep your child safe
  • What to do and who to contact if you have concerns

Upcoming dates:

  • 18 March, 7:00pm – 8:30pm
  • 30 March, 10:30am – 12:00pm

These sessions are free, online, and open to all parents and carers in Somerset.
