Register now for the Child Internet Safety Conference

Our friends over at Child Internet Safety are organising a summit to be held on 11 July at the QE11 Conference Centre, Westminster. Event details – including how to register and costs – can be found here.

They're keen to ensure effective involvement from delegates with the aim of introducing relevant organisations and departments to senior officials who actually work to prevent crimes against children online.

There's great line up of speakers in prospect and some great companies involved, but the sole aim of the event is to inform teachers, law enforcement officials, local authority safeguarding teams and all those with a remit to protect children from online threats of the various resources, products, services, projects, organisations and representatives that can assist them in raising the level of e-safety awareness at grass roots level.

If they can save just one child from any kind of online abuse or threat, they will have achieved the objective of the event.

To quote Tim Loughton – Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Children & Families – DfE: “The arrival of new technology almost invariably offers far more opportunity than it does risk and never has this been more true than it is today in the world of education…it’s about how we help young people to benefit from innovation safely. The time has come to ensure that children and young people are able to take advantage of the wonders that technology brings without the danger."

Mr Loughton continues: “The arrival of new technology almost invariably offers far more opportunity than it does risk and never has this been more true than it is today in the world of education…it’s about how we help young people to benefit from innovation safely. The time has come to ensure that children and young people are able to take advantage of the wonders that technology brings without the danger."

"Businesses need to do more to help parents enable their children to use the internet safely and responsibly. Websites should make it straightforward for people to complain about offensive content, and should have systems that allow them to feed back what they have done in response," he concludes.
