Should I make a report to CEOP?

CEOP is here to keep children safe from sexual abuse and grooming online. CEOP are unable to respond to reports about bullying, fake accounts or account hacking.

We are here to help and give you advice, and you can make a report directly to us if something has happened online which has made you feel unsafe, scared or worried. This might be from someone you know in real life, or someone you have only ever met online.  We take all reports seriously and we will do everything we can to keep you safe.

As well as making a report to us, the CEOP Education website has information and advice to help you if something has happened to you online.

If you are in immediate danger please call the police on 999 straight away.  Please also tell an adult you trust who will be able to help you.

CEOP are unable to respond to reports about bullying but if you're being bullied and would like to talk to someone in confidence right now you can speak to Childline on 0800 1111 or talk to them online - no worry is too big or too small.
