Childnet International

Childnet International works in partnership with others around the world to help make the Internet a great and safe place for children.

Childnet works across three main areas of access, awareness and protection.

Access and promoting quality content

Helping children and young people to use the net constructively, showcase quality content and enable others to use our resources and develop new projects.

Awareness and advice

Helping children and young people acquire new “net literacy” skills and giving advice to industry, organisations, parents, teachers and carers about Internet and mobile safety.

Protection and policy

Working with others to help protect children from being exploited in the online environments provided by new technologies as well as seeking to initiate and respond to policy changes.

Information for Parents and Carers

Few parents understand their children's cyber culture, that is, the way in which their children use the Internet and mobile phone to work, play and socialise. The issues of safety, privacy, on-line predators and cyber bullying are sometimes complex, both technically and psychologically and parents can struggle to keep up. At Childnet we aim to empower parents to get involved with their children's online activities, whatever their level of experience, in order to help their children reap the benefits of the Internet and avoid the dangers.

Information for Young People

Childnet International's aim is to help make the internet a great and safe place for children and young people. You can find the latest information on the sites and services that you like to use, plus information about mobiles, gaming, downloading, social networking and much more.
