For over 25 years, since the early days of the internet, our job has been to help child victims of sexual abuse by hunting down and removing any online record of the abuse. How we do this Tech-for-good.We build cutting-edge tech tools designed to make it easier to identify and remove online images and videos of child sexual abuse. In short, tech to protect kids. Our team of human analysts. Tech companies and law enforcement worldwide trust the assessments, experience and knowledge of our extraordinary team of people. Working together. With international partners in government, law enforcement, reporting hotlines, charities and the tech community we work to stop illegal images of children being circulated again and again. We share vital information that could lead to the rescue of a child from terrible abuse. IWF Hotline. This gives people a safe and anonymous place to report suspected online images and videos. When we started in 1996, 18 per cent of child sexual abuse imagery online was hosted in the UK. Today, thanks to our Hotline, it’s less than one per cent. We’re proud of that.

A new pilot scheme by the IWF and Cyacomb is showing how even the smallest platforms can help play their part in preventing the spread of child sexual abuse imagery online. Our CTO Dan S., said: “It is a strategic priority for the IWF to find ways to deliver its services at a greater scale and to ensure that offenders are denied the use of as many platforms as possible. “This pilot project has helped us look differently at how we can scale, addressing many of the legal, governance and technical barriers that we face today.” Read more on our website.
