Grooming is Not just a Comb

Grooming is Not just a Comb

The Speakup Team is asking what you think of when you hear the word ‘grooming.’

So what is grooming?
Grooming is when someone builds up a friendship with a child or adult. The person being groomed might trust the person who is grooming them and appear to enjoy the friendship only for that to be used against them later. Groomers may also build a relationship with the young person’s family to make you believe you can trust them.

There are lots of ways someone may groom a person; this could be a child or an adult. This film will show you examples of when a person has been groomed and what you should do if you think you are a victim of grooming.

Grooming is not just a comb
For learning disability week, check out The Friendly Information Companies film Grooming is not just a Comb which talks about this difficult subject.

You can watch the video to see how to stay safe and what you can do if you or someone you know might be a victim of grooming.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
