Keeping Safe Online
You probably don’t need us to tell you that the internet can be a weird and scary place, and some people try to trick you or take advantage of you online.
Remember
- Don’t share your details with strangers
- Make sure you update your social network privacy settings so you know who can see you
- Remember, once you post a picture it might be on their forever, so naked selfies are a big no-no!

The NCA’s CEOP Command (formerly the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre) works with child protection partners across the UK and overseas to identify the main threats to children and coordinates activity against these threats to bring offenders to account. We protect children from harm online and offline, directly through NCA led operations and in partnership with local and international agencies.
