What is CAID

In July 2013, the UK Prime Minister stated that by December 2014 the UK would have a National Image Database to tackle the hideous crime of Online Child Abuse Material.

The Home Office appointed the services of Satya Jackson to design and implement the solution.

Known as the CAID (Child Abuse Images Database), this unique system is the first of its kind in the world to retain a national library of illegal images (still and moving) that is accessible to all officers in UK Policing working on online child abuse cases.

It has been developed to ultimately streamline digital forensics, improving the police investigation and prosecution process so that UK Law Enforcement can focus on identifying and safeguarding the victims of child abuse.

All 45 forces in UK Policing and the National Crime Agency (NCA) access a single, shared database, upload images and videos they find on seized media devices to the database, and collaborate between forces which inevitably assists officers to quickly identify the victim and offender. By enabling automatic categorisation of images and videos, it significantly reduces the amount of time, effort and duplication spent by officers in categorising images.

With a growth of over 3 million unique images within 2 years, the CAID system contained over 7.5 million illegal images of children and continues to grow by ½ million images each quarter.

Most importantly, the UK has seen a phenomenal growth in the number of safeguarded victims of child abuse by 300%. However, the job is not over when worldwide 1 in 5 children are at risk of child abuse but only 1 in 8 children disclose their abuse.

In October 2015, CAID won first prize of the Civil Service Innovation Awards competition.
