Protect Your Child from AI Image Abuse

AI tools are increasingly being misused to create or manipulate sexual images of children - and it's happening with everyday photos. Our new guide, produced with the National Crime Agency, gives parents and carers practical steps to review privacy settings, talk to their children, and know what to do if something goes wrong.

Visit our resource page to read or download the guide as a PDF, watch our full series of films, and access our social media pack - including videos, graphics and suggested messaging - to help spread the word.

This short film introduces the people behind the IWF and the work we do to eliminate child sexual abuse imagery online. It offers a glimpse into how we respond to reports, proactively seek out criminal content, and utilise technology to prevent its spread, making the internet safer for everyone.

The video introduces Megan Hinton from the Marie Collins Foundation, who speaks about the importance of survivor-led advocacy and the impact of technology-assisted abuse. Her insights highlight the need for continued support and action to protect victims and prevent further harm.
