RM celebrates a decade of safety support

RM Education celebrates 10 years supporting Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a charity which removes criminal content from the internet

Working together for the past decade, the organisations have made real strides in disrupting the distribution of online child sexual abuse content.

Thanks to the support of its partners, including RM Education, the IWF has been responsible for the removal of over 100,000 URLs containing criminal content and, by sharing intelligence with police, has aided the identification and rescue of 12 children since 2010.

Hilary Wright, e-safety product manager for RM Education, said: “As an established education technology solutions provider, we are delighted to have spent ten years in partnership with the IWF to help in the fight against the sexual exploitation of children online.

“E-safety is becoming a growing priority in schools. While the internet can provide endless possibilities for communication and learning, it can also present many dangers. One of our core roles is to help schools address this delicate balance and implement a stringent e-safety policy to ensure the safety of children online.”

Established in 1996, the IWF allows the public and IT professionals to report criminal online content in a secure and confidential way.
