Tackling the global threat from child sexual abuse
The Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT) is an international alliance of 15 dedicated law enforcement agencies working together to tackle the global threat from child sexual abuse. The NCA is the current chair of the VGT.
The collaborative approach afforded by the VGT is absolutely crucial when the child sexual abuse threat is growing in severity and complexity, and through technology, is increasingly unconstrained by the location of offenders.
The VGT was established as a direct response to the rise in offenders targeting children all over the world through online social interactions, and travelling overseas to commit contact sexual abuse. Law enforcement agencies joined forces, working closely with non-governmental organisations and industry partners, to deliver a program of coordinated activity to help protect children online, no matter where they are in the world.
About VGT
The VGT members work together to deliver innovative, global strategies that address some of the biggest challenges facing international law enforcement in tackling child sexual abuse, ensuring we use every tool possible to enable us to protect children and continue to tackle this global crime.
