Expert analysts have taken action against 200,000 websites containing child sexual abuse material
In conjunction with partners in the private and public sector, we regularly run campaigns aimed at raising awareness & prevention of child sexual abuse online.

We would not expect children to protect themselves from sexual abuse in schools, clubs or youth organisations so why would we adopt such an approach online?
