Statistics and facts
The CEOP Centre delivers a totally holistic approach combining policing with safer by design and educational initiatives. Our latest performance results show that we have:
- 131 children have been safeguarded from sexual abuse either directly or indirectly as the
result of CEOP activity – of which 18 have been identified through the examination
of child abuse images. - 297 arrests have been made as a result of CEOP activity.
- 6 organised paedophile rings have been dismantled or disrupted as a result of CEOP activity.
- Since its launch, the Thinkuknow education programme has reached 1.7 million children and young people between the ages of 8 and 16 years across all parts of the UK.
At the same time we are averaging around 400 reports a month from members of the public through our unique online Report Abuse function and from both UK and international police forces.
