To insure our film plot was as accurate as possible we first did a lot of research into the subject of sexual grooming. Sexual grooming is a very serious subject and we wanted to portray it as accurately but at the same time as sensitively as we could. 
To do this we interviewed our School Child Protection Officer to get a better idea of what actually goes on and who it affects. Not only did this interview open our eyes to how horrible grooming is but also to how it can be hidden so easily from people leaving the child helpless. We will use this information and the secondary research we got online to help us write a script that is as close to the truth as possible.
Here is a link to the interview with the School Child Protection Officer: Sound Cloud Sexual Grooming Interview
In the interview the Child Protection Officer talked about what grooming is and how a groomer doesn’t just groom a child but their family and friends. They often portray themselves to be trustworthy and caring which makes their presence around the family and even more so the child unquestionable and normal.
He also mentions how very often the child in question doesn’t realise they are being groomed but believes that their family friend, uncle or someone else is just being caring and that the relationship is normal, because of this they don’t speak out about what is happening.
Our group learnt so much from this interview with the School Child Protection Officer which will help greatly when it comes to writing our script and making it as realistic as possible.
