Following a meeting between the UK Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) and Facebook, Facebook has agreed to a raft of measures to protect young people from predators on it's site, but crucially stopped short of installing the much-debated CEOP 'Panic Button' on every page.

The social network has been under increasing pressure from the UK authorities to add the CEOP 'Panic Button' to each user's profile but has continually resisted. Instead of the button, Facebook users in the UK and under the age of 19 will be able to click on a 'Report abuse' link on each page which will subsequently provide the option to report abuse to CEOP or Facebook themselves.





In addition, Facebook has 'revamped' it's Safety Centre which provides safety advice to users, and will be providing advertising space on the site to organisations such as CEOP and Childline.

Facebook's new Safety Centre, with sections for Parents, Educators, Teens and law enforcement, can be seen here:
