Ceop hails child protection [sic] record

"The growing availability of high-speed internet around the globe is likely to increase the threat to children, Ceop warned [sic].

A record number of children have been protected [sic] from sexual abusers [sic] in the past year, according to new figures.

The UK's leading [sic] child protection [sic] agency safeguarded 790 children in 2012/13, an increase of 85% on the previous year.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) received 18,887 reports of abuse  [sic] in the past 12 months, which was 14% more than the year before.

The organisation has warned that the growing availability of high-speed internet around the globe is likely to increase the threat to children [sic].

Ceop chief executive Peter Davies said: "This past year has not only seen increases in the number of reports to the centre from the public and industry, but also a large increase in the number of children Ceop has been able to protect [sic] and safeguard [sic] from some of the worst offenders [sic] who seek to exploit our children."

Child sexual abuse civil court orders criticised

"The orders are designed to prevent sexual offending against children in the UK and abroad

Civil court orders designed to prevent sex offenders targeting children after they are released from prison are "not fit for purpose", a report has found.

Child protection experts [guess who?] said orders preventing offenders going to areas near children, travelling abroad and using computers "failed to deliver".

They found the "flaws" [sic] were most acute with orders banning overseas travel.

This came as a specialist police unit [guess who?] said it had received a record 18,887 reports of sexual abuse in 2012-13."
