Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS)
The
UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) was formed in
September 2008 to implement the recommendations from
Professor Tanya
Byron's review 'Safer Children in a Digital World'. It is
made up of over 140 members from Government, industry and the
third sector including Google, Microsoft, Facebook and the
NSPCC. WISE KIDS is a member of UKCCIS.
On the 8th of December 2009, at the first UKCCIS Summit, the
Prime Minister launched UKCCIS' first Internet safety strategy 'Click
Clever Click Safe' to keep children safe online. Young
people and parents will be targeted by a new 'Green Cross Code'
for internet safety:
'Zip it, Block it, Flag it' . This code will be adopted by
retailers, social networking sites, schools and charities and
displayed where appropriate.
