Children keep secrets brilliantly. As a survivor of child sexual abuse, I know this better than anyone. I was abused between the ages of 8 and 10 and nobody ever found out. I showed no signs at school, I had great friends and I wasn’t scared of the man who did it.

In this talk to a room of safeguarding professionals, I explain why so many children and teenagers never come forward. We look at how easy it is to groom a child, why abuse can feel confusing or even exciting to a teenager and how the internet has given perpetrators direct access to young people.

Most importantly, I share a practical approach to changing this. When staff are trained, parents are confident and young people feel inspired to speak up, we can create an environment where children actually tell us what’s happening to them.

If you’re a DSL, teacher, social worker, police officer or anyone who works with children, this talk is for you.

Could AI generated children be used to catch offenders online? I explore a concept sparked by the film The Artifice Girl and a post I put out that led to a huge response.

In this episode I cover:

- How AI children could run thousands of conversations with those who try to exploit them

- Whether this counts as catching a crime or creating one

- The entrapment argument and how it compares to undercover police work

- Whether the police would be able to cope with how many offenders this would expose

- Whether this could pull police attention away from real children who need it

- Hunting groups and how they already do a version of this without any rules

This is a difficult and sensitive topic and I want to hear what you think too.

Want me to adjust the length, add timestamps, or match it more closely to a description style you've used before?

In September 2018, I reported the man who sexually abused me when I was 8 years old. The police investigation ended in no further action, and for years I accepted that as the outcome.

But after speaking to others who successfully prosecuted their cases, and after developing training sessions for the police themselves, I started spotting holes in how my own case was handled.

This is the first episode of a new series where I investigate the police, using my own case as the starting point. I've submitted a Subject Access Request to see the full file, they promised a response by 1 September, and that date has already passed with no word.

In this episode I cover:

- Why the man wasn't arrested at his house, and what that meant for the evidence

- What actually counts as "sufficient evidence" in historic abuse cases

- The statement my sister gave that may have opened a second, connected case

- Why I've now sent a Subject Access Request, and what happens next

If you have knowledge of police processes and procedures and want to help with this investigation, get in touch. I want to build this properly and document the whole journey.
