SUMMARY:Sextortion: lessons from the casefiles
DESCRIPTION:🏷️ From £135\n🎧 Safeguarding practitioners and leaders who may work or be working with children\, their families and other professionals where children are subject to financially motivated extortion and technology assisted child sexual abuse\n📍 Online \n\nCourse outline: \nUnderstanding and Responding to Sextortion: Safeguarding Practice in Focus \nRecent reports from the National Crime Agency (NCA) and CEOP highlight a significant rise in cases of sextortion—where children and young people are coerced into meeting financial demands under threats to release nudes or semi-nudes. This form of blackmail\, often digitally facilitated\, presents complex safeguarding challenges requiring informed\, sensitive\, and coordinated responses. \nThis interactive seminar brings together safeguarding practitioners for a collaborative exploration of sextortion and its impact on children. Led by a specialist in technology-assisted child sexual abuse\, the session provides expert insight\, encourages professional reflection\, and equips participants with tools to identify\, respond to\, and prevent this growing form of harm. \nTraining topics will include: \n\nDefining financially motivated sexual extortion (sextortion) and using the Sharing Nudes and Semi-Nudes guidance effectively\nUnderstanding the voice and lived experience of children affected by sextortion\nExamining the role of internal systems and multi-agency safeguarding in either supporting or re-traumatising victims\nIdentifying key implications for safeguarding practice and preventative education\n\nLearning outcomes: \nBy the end of the session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDevelop a clear understanding of financially motivated sexual extortion and its impact on young people\nApply the latest Nudes and Semi-Nudes guidance to inform safeguarding responses\nReflect on the lived experiences of affected children\, including the risks of victim-blaming and re-traumatisation\nEngage in reflective discussion\, share experiences\, and explore practical responses to complex safeguarding dilemmas\nInform and shape future policy and practice in their setting to better identify\, respond to\, and prevent sextortion\n\nBOOK NOW \n*If you would like to become a member and access discounted rates for Sacpa CPD and events\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Radicalisation and early identification: hidden influences on children\, young people and vulnerable adults
DESCRIPTION:🏷️ From £90\n🎧 Children and adult safeguarding practitioners and leads in all organisations and sectors\n📍 Online\n🎥 Join live \n\nCourse outline: \nThis webinar explores the process of radicalisation and the factors that can influence why extremist messaging may resonate with some individuals. It will distinguish between radical beliefs\, extremism and violent extremism\, while emphasising that radicalisation is not a universal or linear process. The session will consider the particular relevance of adolescence\, trauma and adverse childhood experiences\, while avoiding assumptions that these factors predict involvement in violent extremism. \nThe webinar will also focus on recognising meaningful indicators of concern\, particularly where there are patterns of change\, escalation and movement towards the justification\, glorification or preparation of violence. Participants will be encouraged to consider behaviour within its wider personal\, social and environmental context rather than relying on isolated warning signs or checklists. \nTraining topics will include: \n\n\nUnderstanding radicalisation and distinguishing between radical beliefs\, extremism and violent extremism\, including the non-linear nature of radicalisation and the possibility of change and disengagement.\n\n\nUnderstanding push and pull factors\, including the role of grievance\, identity\, belonging\, relationships and status\, and how these can shape receptivity to extremist messaging.\n\n\nConsidering why adolescence can be a significant developmental period without treating normal adolescent behaviours as indicators of radicalisation.\n\n\nUnderstanding how adverse childhood experiences\, trauma and attachment disruption may interact with other individual\, relational and environmental factors.\n\n\nUsing online misogynistic and grievance-based communities to illustrate how ideological environments can engage with individual grievances and needs.\n\n\nDistinguishing factors that may shape susceptibility to extremist messaging from meaningful indicators of progression towards violent extremism.\n\n\nRecognising patterns of change\, clustering\, escalation and direction of travel.\n\n\nRecognising patterns that may indicate increasing orientation towards\, justification of or preparation for violence.\n\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nDevelop a clearer understanding of radicalisation and its relationship to extremism and violent extremism.\nUnderstand why there is no single pathway\, profile or timeline associated with radicalisation.\nIncrease knowledge of the individual\, relational\, ideological and environmental factors that may shape susceptibility to extremist messaging.\nUnderstand why adolescence\, trauma and adverse childhood experiences should not be treated as predictors of violent extremism\, while recognising how they may interact with other individual\, relational and environmental factors to increase susceptibility to extremist messaging.\nDevelop confidence in distinguishing behaviours that may reflect broader developmental or psychosocial concerns from indicators specifically suggesting progression towards violent extremism.\nUnderstand the importance of considering change\, clustering\, context and direction of travel when assessing concerns.\nIncrease confidence in recognising signs that an individual may be moving towards the justification\, glorification or preparation of violence.\n\nBOOK NOW \n*If you would like to become a member and access discounted rates for Sacpa CPD and events\, please click here. \n\nSpeaker: Juncal Fernandez-Garayzabal Gonzalez\, PhD\, Development & Program Manager at Counter Extremism Project and a fellow at the European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS).  \nJuncal Fernandez-Garayzabal Gonzalez is a linguist by training\, her PhD dissertation analysed the parallels between recruitment mechanisms employed by human trafficking networks and extremist groups\, and based on results\, concluded that existing psychosocial programs aimed at preventing re-recruitment among survivors of human trafficking could be tailored to reduce recidivism among those seeking to leave extremist groups. Her research experience and insights were shaped while working at institutions Georgetown University\, Universidad Pontificia Comillas (Madrid)\, the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies and UNICEF Spain. She also gained first-hand experience in understanding conflicts\, forced migrations\, organized crime\, security\, and peacebuilding while in Latin America and Africa\, where she provided psychosocial support to internally displaced populations and other victims of extremism and violence in post- conflict settings. Since obtaining her PhD dissertation in 2018\, Juncal has mostly focused on developing her practitioner skills. She has designed and led nine projects funded by the United States government and other international bodies aimed at rehabilitating and reintegrating individuals involved in extremist groups (including foreign fighters) across the globe\, including the U.S.\, South and Central Asia\, the Middle East\, and the Balkan region. Only in the U.S.\, she has engaged with over 100 individuals in different stages of the radicalization process and worked with almost 70 individuals incarcerated for terrorism-related offenses. Her hands-on experience has provided her with a deep understanding of radicalization processes and how recruitment mechanisms have evolved over the past years. Her publications include academic journals\, written submissions to different government bodies\, and government reports. She is also a frequent speaker at events organised by different multilateral platforms. \n\n
