The Chief Executive of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) recently warned that children were at greater risk of being approached or groomed by strangers online than ever before and this has been supported by the evidence of increased grooming and abuse online, with the IWF itself receiving a 15% increase in reports from 2020 compared with the previous year. How are you working with the Met and others to step up the response to child sexual abuse and grooming online given the growing risk to children across London?
