Quotes regarding IWF from IWF itself, Government, law enforcement, industry and children's charities/internet safety organisations
Peter Robbins OBE, QPM, IWF Chief Executive
"Websites depicting child sexual abuse images, although reducing in number, represent an extremely serious problem. The extensive intelligence networks we have with partner Hotlines and law enforcement colleagues around the world to support international action are making a real difference but the sophisticated way these websites operate still makes it a highly complex and global challenge."

Professor Ian Walden, IWF Independent Vice-Chair
“A recently published proposal for an EU framework decision on child sexual abuse content promotes the use of blocking lists across member states and we hope to have the chance to inform this process to help other countries to meet this challenge in a way that is proportionate and adequately safeguards individual rights and freedoms. Blocking is just one component in a range of tactics developed to combat child sexual abuse content, but it is no substitute for the removal of the content at source and the investigation and prosecution of its creators and distributors - and that remains the main objective of the IWF and our international partners.
The Board of Trustees will continue to review the operations of the IWF and ensure that we are meeting the best possible standards in our responses to the fast paced, global and dynamic arena in which we operate. Our stakeholders are many, their views are diverse, and the issues we deal with have great resonance in government, in the media and, most importantly, for the public. It will be clear to everyone in the room that managing inappropriate or harmful content is something we are all concerned about, but there are no simple solutions. The structures we are part of and the tactics we operate to deal with criminal content are not necessarily transferable to the area of harmful but legal content. The IWF is an important participant in that debate but we remain focused on criminal content.
Please be reassured that we don’t take our responsibilities lightly and I would like to express my gratitude to IWF’s dedicated staff and experienced Board of Trustees in rising to the many challenges we faced during 2008.”

Eve Salomon, Chair of IWF Board
“This is an exciting and challenging time to be joining the IWF as concern about criminal use of the internet is high on the public agenda. The UK internet industry, through the IWF, has an excellent track record in standing up to the challenges and working in the public interest. I look forward to drawing on our considerable expertise to ensure the right balances are drawn between freedom of expression and protection from illegal content”.

Professor Ian Walden, IWF Independent Vice-Chair
“Not only does the nature of the content we deal with continue to evolve but the political and public environment in which we operate is becoming increasingly focussed on combating internet criminality. This attention means regulatory models for combating illegal online content are coming under more intense scrutiny and we look forward to working with Eve to meet the demands placed upon us by our members, stakeholders and the wider public in an accountable, inclusive and considered manner.”

Peter Robbins OBE, QPM, IWF Chief Executive
"The UK has a very proactive approach to tackling child sexual abuse content online but we could do even more with the public's help. Internet consumers should know that if they do stumble across these images then it's vital to report them to the IWF; we have international partnerships in place to get these websites removed."

Peter Robbins OBE, QPM, Chief Executive, IWF
“We believe that speculative figures can create a distorted picture of the scale of the problem of child sexual abuse websites. This year we have highlighted what we believe is a manageable number worldwide of such websites, known to us. We hope that this revelation and the analysis and intelligence behind the numbers will lead to a better understanding of the issue and justify the need for more international partnerships to pool resources and thinking in order to find solutions: a coordinated global attack on these websites could get these horrific images removed from the web and those responsible investigated.”

“There is no doubt that the success of the IWF is founded on the strength of bringing public bodies together with the private sector to form an incredibly dynamic partnership to tackle the distribution of child sexual abuse content online.
“The UK has a unique approach to tackling this content, with such extraordinary support from the online sector making a very real difference in disrupting the proliferation of child sexual abuse content on the internet. Given the international nature of the challenge ahead we still have much to do in promoting the UK self-regulatory partnership approach abroad in an endeavour to put a stop to the sexual abuse of children and the perpetuation of that abuse by the circulation of illegal images around the world.”

“Our analysts witness the results of terrible sexual abuse being inflicted on very young children around the world and then circulated online. With the help of the online industry, the 28 Hotlines we work with around the world and our law enforcement colleagues, the public can help us to remove these websites and end the abuse that is perpetuated every time the images are viewed.”

“I have followed the IWF’s work for many years and continue to be impressed by the breadth of its industry support and by the range of UK industry-led tactics to combat child sexual abuse content online which have impacted so positively around the world. Effective, widely supported self-regulation is not a simple formula. For the IWF it requires commitment to a range of stakeholder demands, public interest concerns, international political pressures, and technological evolution and I congratulate them on their achievements.”

Commissioner Viviane Reding, European Commission responsible for Information Society and Media
"The European Commission's Safer Internet Programme has supported the Internet Watch Foundation continously since 2000, as one of the most active members of the INHOPE network of hotlines co-funded by the programme. This network offers precisely the integrated approach that is so needed in fighting against child sexual abuse material.

"The UK has one of the most effective approaches in the world for protecting children on the internet. As part of this approach, the Internet Watch Foundation has been responsible for tackling child sexual abuse images on the internet.

Vernon Coaker MP, (then) Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Crime Reduction
“Once again, I welcome with great interest the Internet Watch Foundation's Annual Report. Not only does it evidence a continuation of the UK's exemplary record in combating child sexual abuse content hosted on networks in this country but it also reveals the organisation's work to raise public awareness of their 'Hotline' has had a tangible effect on the public's willingness to report their inadvertent exposure to suspicious online content.
“I have been impressed during 2007 by the efforts of the UK internet industry in raising the bar in online safety and I am particularly encouraged by indications that their commitment to voluntarily block their customers' access to sexually abusive images of children online is already leading to less content reported to the 'Hotline' being confirmed as child sexual abuse. Around 95 per cent of those with residential broadband connections in the UK are now protected in this way and I commend this and other positive steps taken by many companies, in conjunction with the Internet Watch Foundation, to better protect internet users, and internet services, from abuse.
“It is the continuing work of the Internet Watch Foundation and particularly its partnership with industry and law enforcement that has had a very real effect in minimising the re-victimisation of the children who have suffered horrendous abuse.”

Vernon Coaker MP, (then) Under-Secretary for Policing, Security and Community Safety, Home Office
"The IWF 2006 Annual Report reveals deplorable trends in the sexual exploitation of children via new technologies but behind these figures there is a UK success story. The IWF has made dramatic and continued progress in tackling the availability of illegal images of child abuse and has made a significant and on-going contribution to the eradication of exploitation sites hosted in the UK, and the prevention of access to sites hosted abroad"

The IWF has acted as an embodiment of the partnership approach and an exemplar of what can be achieved in tackling the hosting of these abhorrent images.
Importantly, we must never lose sight of the fact that behind every abusive image online there is a real child in the real world being abused."

Vernon Coaker MP, (then) Under-Secretary for Policing, Security and Community Safety, Home Office
"UK Ministers continue to press for greater action at an international level, but this report underlines the importance of the work the IWF and ISPs are doing to block all UK residents from accessing websites, wherever they are hosted, identified as potentially illegal by the IWF by the end of 2007. It is crucial to raise awareness among UK internet users about the IWF as the vehicle to report their inadvertent exposure to this type of content."
July 2006
Rt. Hon. Margaret Hodge MP, (then) Minister of State for Industry and the Regions, Department of Trade and Industry
"The success of the Internet Watch Foundation is an example of partnership, self-regulation and industry’s social responsibility at its best. With potentially illegal content almost eradicated from UK internet hosts, the challenge for the IWF now is to thwart child sexual abuse content hosted overseas that can still be accessed from the UK.
It was interesting to hear that the IWF has processed more reports than ever regarding potentially illegal websites. This demonstrates both the public’s intolerance of this material and that an increasing number of people know to report potentially illegal online content to the IWF. The large rise in numbers of sites confirmed by the IWF as potentially illegal reflects the organisation’s effectiveness and increased technological sophistication.
The IWF has a crucial role in providing a list of potentially illegal child sexual abuse websites to ISPs, mobile operators, search providers and filtering companies so they can play their part in protecting UK internet users from inadvertent exposure to these terrible images. By working closely with the IWF, business is showing its commitment now and in the future to a united effort to defeat this crime. I believe this is a credit to all concerned and is an object lesson on how to achieve public policy goals in the information age. I look forward to working with and supporting the IWF and business in addressing the threat of child abuse images on the internet."

It is crucial to raise awareness among UK internet users about the IWF as the vehicle to report their inadvertent exposure to this type of content.
I look forward to working closely with the IWF as they continue to tackle the demands of keeping pace with the rapidly evolving nature of the internet and those who set out to use it for criminal purposes."

Alun Michael MP, (then) Minister of State for Industry and the Regions, Department for Trade and Industry
"A reduction from 18% to less than 1% in the UK in less than a decade, and the removal of such material, shows the IWF is a leader in its field. The IWF’s influence is expanding and is an exemplary success story in self-regulation."
March 2006
Rt. Hon Alun Michael MP, (then) Minister of State for Industry and the Regions, Department for Trade and Industry

Jim Gamble OBE, Chief Executive, Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP)
“Our relationship with the IWF is absolutely crucial. Their focus on removing and blocking illegal website content is a key piece of the wider jigsaw that allows our teams at the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre to focus on tracking the offenders who abuse the children to provide the content as well as, most importantly, identifying and safeguarding those children from this most horrific abuse. This is true partnership in action.”
