IWF calls for changes to Bill to ensure it does not disrupt current mechanisms for stopping child sexual abuse on the internet
The Home Affairs Select Committee heard that the UK Safer Internet Centre requires funding to provide important services at what is a particularly important time with children spending increasing amounts of time online through the current Covid-19 pandemic.
The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) is urging Ministers to act swiftly and ensure world-leading legislation to protect children online is not put at risk by further Government delays.
The aim of the Hackathon is to help pioneer new solutions to lead the world in the fightback against the spread of child sexual abuse material on the internet.
The internet is “magnifying” risks of sexual abuse for children a major new report has warned.
IWF Chief Executive Susie Hargreaves OBE and Hotline Director Chris Hughes have respectively won awards for inspirational leadership, and for operational impact.
People revictimise abused children every time they view or share criminal material online. Children's voices need amplification, and their rights need sticking up for.
