The National Crime Agency (NCA) works with child protection partners, including the police, across the UK and overseas to protect children and young people from online child sexual abuse.
The NCA pursues those who sexually exploit and abuse children, prevent people becoming involved in child sexual exploitation, help protect children from becoming victims of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse, and prepare interventions to reduce the impact of child sexual exploitation and abuse through safeguarding and child protection work.
The CEOP Education team is a part of the National Crime Agency and we run an education programme which aims to reduce the vulnerability of children and young people to online sexual abuse.
We provide training, resources and information for children and young people aged 4 - 18, their families and professionals who work with them.
The programme includes films, animations, websites, presentations and lesson plans to enable professionals to explore difficult and sensitive issues safely with children and young people.
The animations/film resources are accompanied by toolkits and delivery guidance documents to help professionals explore their themes with children and young people.
Our Values
The CEOP Education programme is founded on six values to ensure safe, effective and child-centred delivery of online safety education.
Concerned?
If you're worried about your child and think something is not quite right, it's best to be on the safe side and find out more.
If you’re worried that your child is being groomed online or sexually exploited you should report your concerns to CEOP.
It is not always easy to spot the signs of online grooming and sexual exploitation so if you have any concern at all about someone your child is in contact with, you should get in touch.
