Initiative
CESAGRAM will work towards a Comprehensive European Strategy against Grooming and Missing children by conducting a range of separate yet interconnected activities: Research, Training and Awareness Raising, the creation of an AI Tool, and Advocacy. The project will be delivered through a partnership consisting of 11 expert organisations and is funded by the European Commission.   The impact of the project includes: • More victims identified and assisted who have gone missing as a result of grooming; • Increased awareness, co-operation and referral amongst frontline professionals, including law enforcement, to quickly identify and respond to grooming victims at all stages of the process; • Better informed young people on the issue of grooming, risks and avenues of support; • Increased availability of technical tools for law enforcement to detect grooming as a factor in missing cases and preventively when there is an indication of risk; • Better knowledge and understanding of the link between missing and grooming amongst professionals; • Improved policies and legislation to protect children from grooming
