Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)

The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) is a non-profit child protection organisation working globally to stop the spread of online child sexual abuse imagery. Every day, our specialist analysts search for and respond to reports of images and videos showing the sexual abuse of children, working with the tech industry, law enforcement and governments worldwide to have criminal content removed and blocked. While we use advanced technology to help locate this material, every image is assessed by trained human experts, supported by gold-standard welfare and wellbeing care. Our work exists to stop the ongoing harm caused when abuse imagery is viewed or shared, and to help create a safer internet for children.
