CEOP Education

The National Crime Agency’s CEOP Education team (NCA-CEOP) aims to protect children and young people from the threat of online child sexual abuse.

They do this through the CEOP Education programme which provides training, resources and information for young people, their families and professionals who work with them. Visit www.ceopeducation.co.uk

The CEOP Education programme aims to:

• Increase professionals knowledge of online child sexual abuse and how to respond to it – through education and safeguarding.
• Increase children’s knowledge, skills and resilience, making them safer online and ensuring they know how to seek help when they need it.
• Give parents and carers the knowledge and skills to help their children be safer online and know how to seek help when they need it. 

How to report to CEOP

Simply go to the CEOP Safety Centre then click on the yellow button. You’ll be asked a number of questions such as what happened, who did it happen to, what do you know about the suspected offender, as well as your name and contact details.

Don’t worry if you don’t know all the details about what happened, just fill in the form as fully as you can. Once you’ve made your report, it will be reviewed by a Child Protection Advisor.
