<p>We have prioritised child sexual abuse as a national threat which means that police
forces and Police and Crime Commissioners must have in place the capabilities they
need to protect children from sexual abuse. In 2015/16 we have already provided an
additional £10 million to the National Crime Agency for the creation of more specialist
teams to tackle online child sexual exploitation. We have also made available £1.7
million to fund Operation Hydrant, which coordinates the handling of multiple historical
child sexual abuse investigations specifically concerning institutions or persons
of public prominence, and up to £1.5 million to support regional coordinators and
analysts to oversee the implementation of the National Policing Plan for tackling
Child Sexual Exploitation.</p>
