Summary

We believe recording this information would: - improve national understanding of online enabled risks - support evidence based safeguarding policies - help police identify patterns and intervene earlier - strengthen child protection Data is not routinely collected on if abductions begin online Police forces report rising levels of online grooming, yet there is no national system to track when digital communication leads to a child being persuaded, coerced, or moved. We believe recording this information would: - improve national understanding of online enabled risks - support evidence based safeguarding policies - help police identify patterns and intervene earlier - strengthen child protection across the UK We want Government to introduce a statutory duty for police forces to record online involvement in abduction cases.
