Training courses

Our training courses are unique…

At CEOP, we have developed a unique programme of training courses to support the often difficult job of professionals working to protect children from sexual abuse and hold perpetrators to account.

Our training courses are developed and delivered by specialists in their fields – this includes forensic behavioural analysts, barristers and senior investigating officers – who have a wealth of practical experience in dealing with offenders and victims alike.

Delegate criteria

Because of the sensitive nature of our training courses, places will only be offered to professionals who:

  • Come into contact with sex offenders in a professional capacity;
  • Conduct criminal investigations where the sexual abuse of children is a factor;
  • Manage offenders in the community or within the justice system;
  • Take responsibility for safeguarding children from sexual predators.

Delegates who do not meet the above criteria will not be permitted to attend our courses. If you are unsure whether you are eligible to attend, please click here to contact us.
