It answers the following questions:

·         What is my child doing online?

Child Exploitation and Online
Protection Centre

For information and advice, and to report concerns directly to The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP).

CEOP is a command of the National Crime Agency and is dedicated to tackling the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and young people.

The ‘CLICK CEOP’ button is visible to students on our website and when logged on at school.

Educate Against Hate

The purpose of this website is to provide practical advice, support and resources to protect children from extremism and radicalisation.

Anyone can be vulnerable to extremism and radicalisation, but children are particularly at risk. As they grow and become more independent, it is not unusual for them to take risks, explore new things and push boundaries.

Extremist groups know young people are vulnerable and may claim to offer them answers, identity and a strong social network, and using the internet and social media to spread their ideology.
