Today is the Internet Watch Foundation’s (IWF) awareness day.  It’s a day when the Internet community and others come together to raise awareness of the IWF and the work they do to minimise the availability of illegal content, specifically, child sexual abuse content hosted anywhere in the world and criminally obscene and incitement to racial hatred content hosted in the UK.

They are reporting latest research which indicates that over three quarters (77%) of UK adult internet users who have stumbled across images of children being sexually abused are unsure how to report them. In addition, 71% of those surveyed ranked the availability of online child sexual abuse images as their top concern about the internet.

We support the IWF and wish them continued success with their awareness raising.
