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.

Domestic abuse (also called domestic violence) happens when one person hurts or
bullies another person who is or was their partner or who is in the same family.
It can happen between people who are going out together, living together, have children
together or are married to each other. It can happen either when people live together
or separately.
Domestic abuse can also happen after a relationship has finished. Although domestic
abuse happens mostly between adults, young people can be affected by the abuse that
they see and hear. Young people may also experience abuse from their own boy/girlfriend.

CSE is the sexual exploitation of children under 18 by adults (over 18) who are
not related to them. The young person is often given ‘something’ which might be
alcohol, cigarettes, a gift, shelter, even compassion or flattery, in order to gain
their trust before sexually abusing them. This contact may be made by any means,
for example, in person, via mobile phone messages or the internet.
The Phoenix Team Tameside work to tackle CSE and there is more information about
theme and what CSE is at the link above. If you are concerned about CSE for you
or someone else please come and see us in Student Services for support.
