Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre has made of the extent of child sexual abuse and exploitation online; which groups of children are particularly at risk; and whether there is evidence of a growing problem of online sexual risk for UK children.

The National Crime Agency, of which the CEOP Command forms part, publishes the National Strategic Assessment annually. The Assessment provides a comprehensive picture of the risk posed to the UK and its interests by serious and organised crime, including child sexual exploitation and abuse.

The National Crime Agency also publishes an Annual Report which contains a set of statistics in respect of the whole of its activity.
