Policy & legislation
A combination of policy, rules and legislation is needed to help protect children from sexual exploitation and abuse online, and to help make the internet a safe space for them to explore.
This includes policies and procedures in private sector organisations, as well as regulations and laws passed by governments.
A range of policies is needed to cover detection and reporting of online exploitation and abusive material, and to ensure that protecting children is prioritised over other considerations. Carefully thinking through these policy areas will help create a consistent, clear foundation for analysis and action. Policies also need to be aligned between countries, regions and with international laws and frameworks.
