There is a growing concern that young people are not only victims of online child sexual abuse but that they can also facilitate Harmful Sexual Behaviours (HSB) online. (Vaswani et al 2022, Finkelhor et al 2022 and Hollis & Belton 2017). This concern is evident in the much anticipated and delayed online safety bill (A guide to the Online SafetyBill - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and the publication of final report of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (www.iicsa.org.uk). Having worked as a Social Worker in a specialist HSB team for over 17 years, I observed the growing number of young people being referred to services due to displaying HSB through technology. Thisexperience led me to research online HSB at Masters level. Through my Masters research, I identified ongoing gaps in research knowledge and understanding of the scale and nature of young people's online sexual behaviour. To date, research into this issue has been limited to a few small-scale studies focusing on young males who had been known to have viewed indecent images of children (Belton & Hollis 2016), with only one full spectrum study into young people displaying online HSB (Hollis & Belton 2017). While findings from this study have generated awareness, further research is urgently needed to develop a deeper understanding and to enable appropriate responses and resources to be developed to meet the needs of this group of young people.

人们越来越担心年轻人不仅是在线儿童性虐待的受害者，而且还可以在线促进有害性行为（HSB）。 （Vaswani等2022，Finkelhor等人2022和Hollis＆Belton 2017）。这种担忧在备受期待和延迟的在线安全法案（在线安全bill的指南 - gov.uk（www.gov.uk）指南以及对儿童性虐待的独立询问的最终报告（www.iicsa.org.org.uk）的最终报告（www.iicsa.org.uk）。在一个专业的HSB团队中，在17年中作为社会工作者工作了17年，我在研究中均参考了年轻人，这些人曾在成长中介绍，这些人曾在成长中介绍，这些人曾在不断发展的人群中进行服务。这种经验使我通过我的硕士研究进行了在线研究，我确定了迄今为止的研究知识和对年轻人的性行为的规模和性质的差距。 ＆Belton 2017）虽然这项研究的发现产生了意识，但迫切需要进一步的研究来发展更深入的理解，并启用适当的回应和资源以满足这一年轻人的需求。
