[29219]
James Brokenshire MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State responsible for crime prevention [holding answer 7 December 2010]: The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre has developed a unique programme of professional development courses. These courses are designed to support professionals working to protect children from sexual abuse and law enforcement officers who work to hold offenders to account.
These include a course on 'Understanding Child Sex Offenders: A Foundation Course in Behavioural Analysis'; a course on the Sexual Offences Act and a piloted course on Travelling Sex Offenders.
CEOP, through its Overseas Tracker Team, also gives tactical and strategic advice to police forces and senior investigating officers in relation to the application of extraterritorial legislation and investigations into child sexual abuse committed overseas.
