We aren’t checking this account regularly at the moment and have migrated over to bsky. Please find us there.

So important to highlight the need for support for families as well in these situations @TalkingForward_

We need victim status for children of those being investigated for/convicted of online CSA offences. @SarahChampionMP @jessphillips

@Welshwarrioron1 @cwebster75 Please take care and we hope you are ok. It’s been a tough week.

@Lucy1A2B @TalkingForward_ Thank you Lucy, though we facilitate the meeting happening, they are all powerhouses for each other. The strength and compassion in the room, despite their own discomfort is always inspiring.

[caroline webster @cwebster75]

A raw but honest and supportive session with partners and family members on @TalkingForward_ . The impact of the media attention about Hew Edwards case has had such an impact. As always, we are in awe of the groups resilience and compassion. Thank you to everyone who attended.

[caroline webster @cwebster75]

Thank you @bbc5live for having me on today to talk about the impact of accessing online child sexual material on families and partners and the support @TalkingForward_ can offer. If anyone would like more information about us, please head to our website and get in touch.

[caroline webster @cwebster75]

@ProfRArmitage @bbc5live @TalkingForward_ Not enough time to talk about what we offer but hopefully people heard the name and can look us up on the website and get in touch for support 🤞

[TalkingForward @TalkingForward_]

Thanks to our co-founder @cwebster75 for contributing to @bbc5live this morning. She used the small amount of time to explain the damage to families and to convey the support we can offer you. Please get in touch if you are a family member and want to talk.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Why did Huw Edwards avoid prison?

Is this evidence of “two-tier justice”?

Let’s take a quick look. 🧵

TLDR: This is an entirely expected sentence for offences of this type.

[TalkingForward @TalkingForward_]

These funds allow us to continue to deliver four peer support groups every month, and to ensure that families affected by online child sexual abuse do not feel isolated and alone.

It’s our face to face group in Leeds today 11:00-13:00. Since we started in 2022, we have increased to 4 groups per month. We have 250 clients and are averaging 19 new referrals per month. I wish we didn’t need to exist, but the need for support is increasing all the time.

[TalkingForward @TalkingForward_]

Online group this evening - 1830-2000. These sessions are open to anyone across the UK, free and for as long as you want to attend.

@Mannersache1 Well let’s keep in touch and one day!

[TalkingForward @TalkingForward_]

Our Leeds f-2-f group has moved to online for today. We always have 2 facilitators & sometimes struggle for numbers (although this is rare). To this end, we will be looking to recruit passionate/awesome volunteers in the coming months. Drop us a message if you are interested 🌟
