How to Deal with Concerns
If at any point you have any concerns about your child’s safety on line, please talk with your child’s class teacher. You can also report it to CEOP (a police led online crime and safety service).
CEOP is a command of the National Crime Agency, and is dedicated to tackling the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and young people. CEOP is here to help young people (up to age 18) who have been forced or tricked into taking part in sexual activity with anyone online or in the real world. They also offer advice and links to support in response to other online problems young people might face, such as cyberbullying or hacking. For information, advice and to report concerns directly to CEOP, visit the Safety Centre by clicking on the Click CEOP button, as mentioned above.
