UK Council for Child Internet Safety was launched on 29 September 2008. The establishment of such a council was a key recommendation in Dr Tanya Byron’s Report, ‘Safer Children in a Digital World’.  The Council will be multi stakeholder forum which will enable those with an interest in Child Internet Safety to come together to develop a strategy for improving child internet safety.  The strategy is to be based on two core elements: better regulation in the form of voluntary codes of practice that industry can sign up to and better information and education for children, young people, parents and carers.
