CEOP

CEOP is a law enforcement agency and is here to help keep children and young people safe from sexual abuse and grooming online. They help thousands of children and young people every year. 

They can offer help and advice, and you can make a report directly to them if something has happened online.

If you make a report to CEOP about sexual abuse or grooming online it will be read by one of our Child Protection Advisors who will get in contact with you on the phone number or email address that you give to them to make sure that you are safe.  They will also discuss with you what will happen next.

They work together with lots of other professionals; this includes other police agencies.  If a crime has been committed they will work together and use their specialist skills to identify the person or people responsible and bring them into the criminal justice system.

The CEOP Thinkuknow website also has information and advice to help you to stay safe if something has happened online.

CEOP are unable to respond to reports about bullying, fake accounts or account hacking.
