CEOP - Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre
CEOP helps any child or young person under the age of 18 who is being pressured, forced or tricked into taking part in sexual activity of any kind. This can be something that has taken place either online or in ‘the real world’, or both.
The CEOP Safety Centre has clear information and advice on what can be reported to CEOP, the reporting process and what will happen if you do decide to make a report.
You can visit the CEOP Safety Centre and make a report directly to CEOP by clicking the Click CEOP button.
Reporting to CEOP
CEOP operates a 24/7 service for the receipt of reports.
Reports can be made to CEOP by a young person or on their behalf by a parent/carer or professional working with these groups. Children under 11 years of age are encouraged to tell an adult that they trust about what has happened and to ask for their help in reporting this either to CEOP or local police.
All reports to CEOP are treated as reports of crime and as such anonymous reports cannot be accepted.
If you are experiencing online bullying or something else online has worried you please speak to an adult you trust, or you can talk to Childline at any time on 0800 1111 or at www.childline.org.uk.
Technology has become an everyday part of all our lives, therefore it is vital that as a school community we understand the significance of E-Safety. At Moorhill Primary the teaching of issues relating to E-Safety and how to deal with them, is an important part of our curriculum. We feel it is equally as important to raise awareness at home, in order to allow our children the opportunity to use and enjoy the wide range of technology out there to equip them with the knowledge to keep them safe.
There are lots of websites which will provide guidance and support, in order to keep your children safe at home. Parents are also welcome to contact the school to request support with this issue.
