Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. It drives us. And it motivates our Strategy & Knowledge Directorate to maintain our position as an influential, informed and forceful voice at every level. Join us as a Child Safety Online Project Officer and lead progress that means more.
Join us and you'll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You'll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that'll bring the best out in you. And you'll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives.
Are you passionate about working with children to create a safer online world? Do you have experience of working directly with young people to give them a voice?
We are looking a motivated and organised individual to play a key role in our work to help keep children safer online. This role will be central to the NSPCC's new strategy of amplifying the voices and experiences of children and young people to help keep them safe online. The role will support the delivery of our new child safety online youth taskforce, as well as supporting other projects across our programme of work. These include work to better utilise Childline insights, deliver participation opportunities through Childline and schools and amplify the voices of children through key events and comms.
Our research found that there are on average 3,500 online child sexual abuse crimes taking place every month, and we've seen an 80% rise in grooming offences since 2017. With the recent passing of the Online Safety Act this is a crucial moment in turning the tide on online harm and abuse. We believe for this to be successful young people must have a voice on what safety online looks like to them.
Young people have been clear: 'Though we may be young, we have a strong opinion on how to keep children safe online'. They have told us that being online is a 'key part of their lives' but they can follow every rule adults set about online safety and still experience harm. Currently, there's a lack of consideration for young people's thoughts and experiences, and how these can be used to drive real change in the online world. We want to change that.
Join us and you'll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You'll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that'll bring the best out in you. And you'll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives.
