A Must-Watch for ANYONE Responsible for a Child: The Need to Understand The Hidden Signs of Grooming

Something to Say is incredibly honoured to be joined by Anna Sonoda, a licensed clinical social worker, educator, and nationally recognised expert in child sexual abuse prevention and grooming awareness.

Anna talks gives us a clearer understanding of grooming, how it happens, the warning signs to look for, and how awareness can help protect children. Anna describes how prevention starts with communication, safe environments, and informed communities.

Anna also talks about the importance of listening, believing, and responding appropriately when concerns arise, and how ongoing learning is essential to strengthening safeguarding practices.

This video is a MUST watch for all parents, carers, teachers and any individual or community group that works in the interests of, or works with, children and young people.
