In order to tackle the sensitive topic, the BBC soap will be working alongside charities Barnardo's, End Violence Against Women and experts in the field on the storyline, which will see Amy groomed by DC Craig Ingram, an adult she believes she can trust.
With Amy having admitted responsibility for Joel’s attack, Craig gained Amy’s trust by agreeing to keep her confession a secret from the police.
Believing Craig to be the only thing that stands between her and serious consequences for the attack on Joel, Amy is incrementally manipulated and groomed by Craig over a series of months and will eventually find herself in danger when Craig creates an environment where Amy believes he is the only person she can trust.
Lynn Perry, Barnardo’s chief executive, added: "We welcomed the opportunity to provide expert advice on this storyline - which is a powerful reminder that there is no stereotypical victim or perpetrator of grooming. Young people from all walks of life can be targeted and fall victim to controlling behaviour – and many are often unaware that they are being groomed.
