Congratulations to Dr Heather Ferguson (in collaboration with Jane Reeves at the Centre for Child Protection), who has been awarded £1,500 by Kent Health for an eye-tracking project to assess a new “serious game” called “Looking out for Lottie”, a training tool for professionals working in child protection, aimed at raising awareness of, and preventing, child sexual exploitation and online grooming. This is part of a collaboration with Kent Police and the NHS. The funds will be held at the Centre for Child protection but the experiments will be run at the School of Psychology by Emily Blake, who was instrumental in preparing the application.
