The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre is dedicated to eradicating the sexual abuse of children. That means we are part of UK policing and very much about tracking and bringing offenders to account either directly or in partnership with local and international forces. Part of our work involves protecting children in the online world. The CLICK CEOP internet safety button allows young people and children to report any abuse they experience online.

UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS)
The UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) was formed in September 2008 to implement the recommendations from Professor Tanya Byron's review 'Safer Children in a Digital World'. It is made up of over 140 members from Government, industry and the third sector including Google, Microsoft, Facebook and the NSPCC. WISE KIDS is a member of UKCCIS
On the 8th of December 2009, at the first UKCCIS Summit, the Prime Minister launched UKCCIS' first Internet safety strategy 'Click Clever Click Safe' to keep children safe online. Young people and parents will be targeted by a new 'Green Cross Code' for internet safety: 'Zip it, Block it, Flag it'. This code will be adopted by retailers, social networking sites, schools and charities and displayed where appropriate.
