What we do

While the digital world is revolutionising human experience, it also presents heightened risks of exploitation and abuse, especially for the most vulnerable.

We’re here for all the children and young people online.

Overview of our role

Safe Online exists to protect and empower children in the digital world by: 

1) Investing in solutions 
2) Generating evidence 
3) Advocating for child online safety

Deep dive into online safety

One in three internet users is a child, and each year millions of children experience online violence and exploitation. The online world was not designed with their safety in mind. 

We’re here to change that.
