Annual conference
IPPPRI organises an annual international conference which brings together leading figures from government, police, the third sector, academia, and industry to discuss new approaches to the investigation of online Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE).
IPPPRI25 will take place from 19-21 May 2025 at the Renaissance Hotel, Heathrow, London. The conference will bring together leading voices dedicated to tackling the growing threat of online child sexual abuse, with a focus on ‘Tackling Online Harms: Research into Practice’. Register your interest in IPPPRI25 and we'll let you know when registrations open.
Call for abstracts
We are delighted to invite researchers and practitioners to submit papers for IPPPRI25.
Both UK and international contributions are invited. We welcome papers that demonstrate the impact of research on the 'whole system' response to online CSAE under the following themes:
- Education and awareness in response to the growing threat of OCSAE
- The emerging link between pornography and CSAM
- The role of regulation
- The Industry response to improving trust and safety
- The law enforcement response
- The wellbeing of officers and staff investigating OCSAE
- The digital forensic response
- The identification of victims and supporting victims, the families of victims and offenders
- Offender intervention and prevention
- Management of offenders
You are invited to submit a 250-word abstract by Friday 17 January 2025 with a clear focus on the policy/practice impact of your research. Those selected will be invited to present to conference attendees, who will represent a range of sectors involved in the whole system response, including academia, policing, public protection, technology and government.
The registration fee for the conference is £250 and will include full delegate access, including food and refreshments. Accommodation is available at the event venue at delegates’ expense.
The annual conference is our biggest event of the year. It brings together a diverse and focussed audience and present the most up-to-date and cutting-edge research and evidence in the investigation and prevention of CSA.
We bring together leading researchers from both the UK and internationally to share their knowledge and thinking with a focus on what it means for policy makers and front-line practitioners working to protect children from abuse. The online space provides opportunities for networking and interaction.
Previous events, co-hosted with the National Police Chief's Council (NPCC) Lead for Child Protection, were attended by over 500 delegates from across the United Kingdom.
