answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Command of the National <br />Crime Agency (NCA) is the UK's national law enforcement agency committed to <br />tackling the sexual abuse of children in both the online and offline <br />environments - with the principal aim of identifying, locating and safeguarding <br />children and young people from harm. <br /><br />Government funding for the CEOP Command of the NCA was £6.381million in <br />2012/13. The work of the CEOP Command in tackling the proliferation of indecent images of <br />children is of utmost importance and that is why we have protected its budget. <br /><br />In addition, every officer in the NCA, which has over 4000 people, has a legal <br />duty to safeguard children and promote child welfare. The NCA's UK and global <br />reach is extensive, with officers stationed in over 40 countries overseas to <br />ensure our international partners are working alongside us to tackle the abuse <br />of children. <br /><br />Police forces also investigate online child abuse, safeguard the victims and <br />prosecute the perpetrators. The resources allocated to this work in each force <br />is a matter for the Chief Constable and their Police and Crime Commissioner.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach question first answered 26/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach
