To help raise awareness of our Hotline and further our work combating illegal content online, the Internet Watch Foundation aims to have its work widely embraced throughout national and local government as well as internationally.

 

We operate independently of Government, but are closely supported by the Home Office, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Ministry of Justice as well as working with the Department for Education and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and a number of Parliamentarians, Peers and MEPs who take an interest in our work.

 

IWF is a member of the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) and has a seat on the Council’s Executive Board.
