We also have wide experience of the concerns and needs of workers in different settings and disciplines, and in developing good working practice.

CEOP
CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection)
33 Vauxhall Bridge Road
LONDON
SW1V 2WG
0870 000 3344
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre is dedicated to eradicating the sexual abuse of children. That means we are part of UK policing and very much about tracking and bringing offenders to account either directly or in partnership with local and international forces.
But our approach is truly holistic. Walk through the CEOP Centre today and within any one team you will find police officers specialising in this area of criminality working with professionals from the wider child protection community and industry. You will find seconded staff from organisations such as the NSPCC, teams sponsored by the likes of VISA and SERCO and experts from government and corporations such as Microsoft offering specialist advice and guidance.
That approach is dedicated to building up intelligence that in turn drives the business, informs our operational deployments, steers our CEOP Academy programmes to law enforcement, child protection and educational sectors and drives our dedicated Thinkuknow programme for children and parents of all ages.
It is an approach that sees the development of specialist areas such as our Behavioural Analysis Unit, our approach to victim identification or the development of our Child Trafficking Unit as well as filtering into all areas of our outreach activities such as the Most Wanted initiative and our public awareness plans.
In fact the real lifeblood of the CEOP Centre is intelligence - how offenders operate and think, how children and young people behave and how technological advances are developing - all are integral to what we are about and what we deliver.

About the NSPCC
The London Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was founded in 1884. It changed its name to The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) in 1889. its aim then was to protect children from cruelty, support vulnerable families, campaign for changes to the law and raise awareness about abuse. Today, the NSPCC looks very different, but its purpose remains the same: to end cruelty to children.
The NSPCC's work
We have 180 community-based projects and run the NSPCC Helpline and ChildLine in the UK and the Channel Islands. Most of our work is with children, young people and their families. We also work to achieve cultural, social and political change - influencing legislation, policy, practice, public attitudes and behaviours and delivering services for the benefit of young people.
Our aim
We want to see a society where all children are loved, valued and able to fulfil their potential. To do this, we have four objectives:
-
To mobilise everyone to take action to end child cruelty.
-
To give children the help, support and environment they need to stay safe from cruelty.
-
To find ways of working with communities to keep children safe from cruelty.
-
To be, and be seen as, someone to turn to for children and young people.
