Dear All,

Catch22 have asked that we share the following information with members of our stakeholder group.

Following on from the Catch22 Online Harms: Education or Regulation discussion held several weeks ago, Catch22 has now launched a public consultation.

It is being widely circulated across all our youth, family, and intervention services across the UK, but I would also like to hear your thoughts: what you’re seeing, what you know is happening, and where you believe the gaps in intervention are. We are seeking input from young people, youth workers, service managers, and online platforms on how online harms impacts specifically youth violence and child exploitation.

The direct link to the Online Harms Consultation is here. It should take approximately 5 – 10 minutes, depending on the detail you wish to give.

Your responses will be used to shape further discussions and shape our work in the online harms space, specifically addressing serious youth violence and child sexual and criminal exploitation. Please include your name in your response if you are open to either talking further about this work, or if you would like to hear the results of our consultation.
