The CSERB has been designated the UK reporting body under the new Online Safety Bill. CSERB will receive online CSA reports from UK companies. This new capability will be integrated with current operations to enhance the Agency’s response to tackling online CSA and coordinating UK law enforcement’s response to safeguarding victims and pursuing offenders. The CSERB/Designated Reporting Body has been identified as a critical deliverable by the NCA Board.
As a proactive intelligence function the CSERB assesses online CSA reports to determine offences committed, identify risk factors and pursue serious child sex offenders. CSERB works closely with the National Targeting Centre (NTC), Tasking and Child Exploitation (CEOP) Investigations to identify the highest harm targets that require an Agency response. Acting as the UK’s central coordination of NCMEC reports the CSERB also works closely with Forces to help protect children from sexual abuse and bring child sex offenders to account.
As a Senior Officer, you will form a key part of the CSERB leadership team. As such you will be expected to lead and develop not only officers from your team, but across the function. The role of senior officer necessitates that on a regular basis you will view reports and assess whether the material (this includes images, media and chat) constitutes a criminal offence. You will ensure quality and standards are maintained in the application and use of a variety of intelligence development methods, together with the appropriate use of specialist intelligence gathering processes. You will be expected to make sure that corporate records are maintained and you complete assurance processes to validate the work that has been completed by your team members. You must be resilient as the nature of the material viewed can be challenging. This is why welfare and wellness is a unit priority. You will be supported through specialist support mechanisms at individual, team and unit levels and within the team you will also play an active role in our internal wellness and wellbeing activities.
