Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP)

The National Crime Agency's Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) helps children and young people. CEOP offers help if a young person (up to 18) has been forced or tricked into taking part in sexual activity with anyone online or in the real world. CEOP also offer advice and resources to support with the online problems young people might face, such as cyberbullying and hacking.

On the top left corner of this website you'll see a scared character, which is an easy-to-access link to CEOP for our pupils. At Watling Park School we teach children that if they are worried about online safety, they can click on the scared figurine and the link will take them straight to CEOP for support.
