CHILD EXPLOITATION & ONLINE PROTECTION (CEOP) Internet Safety

The NCA's CEOP Command (formerly the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre) works with child protection partners across the UK and overseas to identify the main threats to children and coordinates activity against these threats to bring offenders to account. We protect children from harm online and offline, directly through NCA led operations and in partnership with local and international agencies.

Your advice, help and report centre... When should I report to CEOP? We help children stay safe online. Has someone acted inappropriately towards you online, or to a child or young person you know? It may be sexual chat, being asked to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable or someone being insistent on meeting up. You can report it to us below. If you need immediate help call 101 or if you have a real emergency 999.

The CEOP Command’s Thinkuknow programme provides resources, training and support for professionals who work directly with children and young people.
