child victims

A review warns that UK police forces are failing to protect child victims of online sexual abuse due to insufficient funding and a 66% annual increase in referrals. HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary Michelle Skeer emphasized the need for investment and coordination to prevent worsening risks to children.

The Victim Services Division provides comprehensive support to child victims and witnesses involved in federal crime cases, including missing children cases. Services include forensic interviews and coordination with victim specialists to ensure proper care for victims and their families during traumatic situations.
