Who we work with

We work with the global internet industry, governments and law enforcement agencies to fight child sexual abuse* imagery and videos online. We’re supported by our internet industry Members and the European Commission. Together, we work to remove illegal images of children, wherever they’re hosted in the world. Our partnerships make a real difference.

You - the public

We work continuously to increase our awareness of our reporting function to the public so that you know what to do if you accidentally see these types of images.
Our Members

We are a global membership organisation and offer unique services to the internet industry in order to help them make their services safer for their customers and prevent misuse of their systems.

Our International Reporting Solution for countries

Many countries don’t have a dedicated hotline to take reports on these images. To help these countries, we offer an International Reporting Solution which so these countries can offer a reporting facility to their citizens without setting up a dedicated hotline.

The police

In order to effectively remove child sexual abuse material from the internet we work with the police globally to bring offenders to justice.

EU co-funding

We are part of the UK Safer Internet Centre and we therefore receive 10% of our funding from the European Union, through the EU Safer Internet Programme.

Our international collaboration

As there are no geographical borders on the internet we work internationally with a range of organisations to eliminate child sexual abuse images and videos from the internet.

Our political engagement

To help raise awareness of our reporting function and our services to industry we aim to get our work widely embraced throughout national and local government as well as internationally. As part of this we have an IWF Champions initiative with the aim of further harnessing our political support.

How we work with other charities

We work with many other charities across the world to make the internet safer for everyone and to stop the distribution of child sexual abuse images.

*We use the term child sexual abuse to reflect the gravity of the images and videos we deal with. Child pornography, child porn and kiddie porn are not acceptable descriptions. A child cannot consent to their own abuse.
