Often people working with children are unsure whether a specific adult-child relationship is appropriate. They might just have that uneasy feeling. At its heart grooming is deception, and deception never waves a red flag. By learning the definitions and nuances of this behaviour, the mental health community and people working with children can better detect grooming and intervene before sexual abuse occurs.

Throughout this course, you will learn: •What is child sexual grooming? •Which children are at higher risk to be targeted? •The typical techniques used in sexual grooming. •The process of sexual grooming. •And receive tips on how to have a preventative conversation with children on sexual grooming.
