Organizations working with and for children and youths, government and industry representatives have joined together to establish a dialogue and address fundamental and practical issues impacting on child safety in the online environment.

​

Key objectives:

•   To ensure a safer and more secure online environment for children and youth;

•   To establish on-going exchange of experiences between all stakeholders;

•  To encourage procedures for the improvement of legal regulations as well as self-regulation instruments towards child safety online; 

•   To strengthen efforts on all levels to fight child sexual abuse images of all kind;

•   To strengthen efforts for the empowerment of children and youth themselves;

•  To discuss how to ensure that all tools such as web-based reporting mechanisms or age verification solutions restricting access for younger users to certain types of content and services provided to children such as awareness raising campaigns or educational content through digital platforms are employed reasonably;

•     To ensure that the needs of children as users are respected in the development and provision of new services and applications online; 

•     To create a platform for child rights agencies and freedom of expression advocates to dialogue on issues of mutual concern.
