CEOP reporting

CEOP stands for the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command, which is a law enforcement agency in the United Kingdom that is dedicated to combating online child sexual abuse and exploitation. It is a part of the National Crime Agency and was established in 2006 to bring together the expertise and resources of law enforcement, child protection agencies, and other organizations to tackle the increasing problem of online child abuse.

CEOP works to identify and prosecute individuals who engage in the sexual abuse and exploitation of children online, as well as to educate parents, carers, and children about online safety and how to stay safe online.
