About our SID activities
FOSI will host a Safer Internet Day webinar with Thorn, titled 'Spotting red flags: Recognising online abuse and harassment, a Safer Internet Day event' on Wednesday, 12 February. During this event we will discuss ways families and children can stay safe from harms such as harassment, abuse, sextortion, and CSAM (child sexual abuse material).
As children explore the online world, how can caregivers work to ensure they are safe from bad actors? What are some signs to look out for when it comes to abuse online? How can we support victims? We will answer all of these questions and more during this Safer Internet Day webinar.
FOSI will also publish materials on our Good digital parenting platform building on the theme 'Together for a better internet'.
What we are doing to create a better internet...
Public policy - FOSI encourages enlightened public policy and convenes and educates legislators, policy professionals, regulators, industry and media from around the world on a balanced approach to online safety.
Industry best practice - Through our collaborative work with our member companies, FOSI highlights and encourages industry best practices. As a trusted convener in the online safety space, FOSI brings together educators, parents, lawmakers, industry, academics, and civil society for important discussions, both at our annual international conference and at smaller events throughout the year, highlighting the extraordinary work, products and services that exist today. Through our convening role, we help boost the work of other experts in this space so that parents, educators, and other stakeholders are able to benefit from an overall greater digital experience.
Good digital parenting - FOSI brings together and highlights the best safety messages, tools and methods to reach parents, children and caregivers. FOSI’s Good Digital Parenting resources provide parents and caregivers with the tools they need to confidently navigate the online world with their families.
Research - FOSI conducts research to inform online safety best practices amongst parents, industry, policy makers and more. Recent research projects include our bi-annual Online Safety Survey which asks parents and kids their thoughts about parental controls, online safety education, household rules, and much more.
