It often starts with friendship. The groomer will look for ways to gain their target's trust, often with gifts or promises. Eventually they'll start to ask for something in return, and this eventually leads to abuse. Because groomers work to befriend their victims, some organisations refer to it as “mate crime”.

Read More »Grooming is a form of abuse that involves manipulating someone until they’re isolated, dependent, and more vulnerable to exploitation. Grooming itself is not listed as one of the 10 categories of harm in The Care Act. But many of the types of harm listed in The Care Act, including modern slavery, physical, sexual and financial abuse, can happen as a result of grooming. When most people think about grooming, they think about children. But adults are vulnerable to grooming too. In this post we’ll explore the the issue of adult grooming, including the signs of grooming that you should look out for. It’s a gradual process. The abuser picks their target, build up trust, and the actual abuse, which is usually sexual or financial, doesn’t come until much later. It often starts with friendship. The groomer will look for ways to gain their target’s trust, often with gifts or promises. Eventually they’ll start to ask for something in return, and this eventually leads to abuse.

If they seem reluctant to see you, or they refuse a visit, it might be because someone’s manipulating them. You notice that sums of money have disappeared from the person’s bank account, or the person claims they cannot pay for food or bills. The person might be spending more time on the phone, or online, than usual. But they won’t say what sites they’re visiting, or who they’re talking to. They start talking about a new “friend”, “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”, and it’s not clear who they are or how they met them. Grooming can also lead to radicalisation. In which case, you might notice that the person starts talking about an issue or a cause that’s never really interested them before.
