Peter Robbins, IWF, CEO:

“We are always delighted to see commitment from key organisations in the UK internet industry for the work we do. The increasing diversity of our membership base is something we are very proud of and reflects the increasing support and responsibility given to addressing the very serious business of combating illegal images online. ”

Marcus Hopwood, MaNAP CEO:

“ MaNAP is pleased to be contributing to the Internet Watch Foundation - the work that they do to combat child abuse images online is vital and it is the responsibility of all responsible Internet stakeholders to ensure that the IWF has both sufficient funding and support to perform their work effectively. MaNAP encourages all of its members to support the IWF and we are pleased that many of them are funding contributors in their own right. ”
