Detection on the device. Evidence to the authority.
Grooming and sextortion have moved into private messages, where cases surface late and evidence is hard to secure. Agencies need early signal without reading children’s messages.
The problem
- Restrictions on social media accounts for children rarely name private messaging apps, where most grooming happens.
- Cases reach police, health and schools late and through different doors, often after the evidence has gone.
- Children abandon tools their parents or schools can read. The privacy is what makes the safety work.
- A child’s distress must never become evidence against another person, and support must come before process.
The evidence
What discovery settles
- A harm taxonomy across grooming, sextortion, exploitation, bullying and self-harm, built on published clinical and forensic instruments.
- Interagency routing, care-first: self-harm to care, bullying to the school, exploitation to protection services or police.
- Thresholds by age bracket, and when a parent or trusted adult is told.
- What each agency receives, and nothing more. Nothing reaches an agency because it exists, only because a package was escalated.
- An evidence package designed to meet court standards, hash-anchored and tamper-evident.
- Language and cultural configuration, including Gulf Arabic dialects.
Obligations in scope
- Child protection and mandatory reporting law.
- Data protection law for minors.
- Rules of evidence and chain of custody.
- Barnahus-style interagency standards for child-friendly investigation.
- Child safe standards for schools and youth organisations.
What you hold at the end
- An interagency routing design, agreed by each partner.
- An evidence specification set with your investigators.
- A configured pilot, tested by your people on synthetic cases.
- A report & business case for ministers, boards or directors.
How an engagement runs
Each step is its own decision. You only go further when the last one has earned it.
Desktop audit
A short review of how harm reaches your people today, from your intake answers and a call.
Request a briefing ›Audit & organisational plan
Your departments mapped against the harms and obligations in scope, checked against a framework built with specialist employment counsel.
A private first cohort
Around ten people, fully private, with no automatic escalation. Training and hands-on onboarding included, measured against a baseline.
Policy & escalation
Your policies built into the escalation pathways, mapped with counsel and your broker, so the board can show its obligation is met.
Twelve-month term
Quarterly reviews, threshold tuning, refresher training and a board report on what the control is doing.
