As police officers we will continue to target those intent on abusing and exploiting young people on the internet. Keeping children safe both offline and online is a key priority for policing and we work closely with the National Crime Agency to achieve this.

Alongside this it is vitally important that young people are educated and empowered to stay safe online. Safer internet day is a great opportunity to promote and highlight the ways we can all make the web a better place for our children.”
