What is CEOP's role?

• CEOP’s role in this area will build on our existing strengths and expertise. The main areas we will focus on include:
  
  
  • raising public awareness of the issues associated with missing children;
  • developing strategic knowledge of missing children;
  • providing practitioners with the knowledge, resources and skills to further their professional development; and
  • offering tactical support on complex cases to police forces.
    
    
• CEOP will not be taking reports from members of the public who wish to report a child missing; these should continue to be reported to the local police service in whose area the child went missing.
