INFORMATION ON CEOP - E-SAFETY
About and Reporting to CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection)
The Click CEOP button is an asset of the National Crime Agency’s CEOP Command. The CEOP Command works to protect children from the harm of sexual abuse and exploitation both online and offline.
CEOP are here to help and give you advice. You can make a report directly by using the `Click CEOP` if you are worried about online sexual abuse or something has happened to your child online which has made either you or your child feel unsafe, scared or worried. This might be from someone they know in real life, or someone they have only ever met online.
If you make a report to CEOP about sexual abuse or grooming online it will be read by one of the Child Protection Advisors who will get in contact with you on the phone number or email address that you provide to them to talk about what you have reported, to make sure your child is safe and discuss what will happen next. Please try not to worry, your child has done nothing wrong and they will do all they can to help. CEOP are unable to respond to reports about bullying, fake accounts or account hacking.
CEOP will work together with you and lots of other professionals whose jobs are also to make sure your child is safe, this includes other police agencies. If a crime has been committed they will work together and use there specialist skills to identify the person or people responsible and bring them into the criminal justice system.
PACE (Parents against Child Sexual Abuse) have created a free online learning module about the signs and symptoms as well as the impact of CSE. It also gives advice on what to do when you think a child might be at risk of CSE http://paceuk.info/training/keep-them-safe/.
