UK Council for Child Internet Safety

When talking about Norton to people, I outline to them that or job, or mission, or whatever you want to call it, has changed significantly. Most people understand us as being the company that helps protect your PC and stops all those ‘viruses and stuff’ messing with them. I explain that we still do that, but really the focus is now how we can also protect your identity that resides with the PC. However, it is actually even bigger than that. For those of you who are parents, we have to protect everyone in your family who has access to and uses the internet.

Symantec sits on two of the working groups within the Council for Child Internet Safety and was delighted to attend the summit where Gordon Brown MP, Ed Balls MP and child psychologist Professor Tanya Byron officially launched the new internet safety campaign, Click Clever, Click Safe, and the accompanying internet safety code “Zip It, Block It, Flag It”.

We really like the campaign and are looking forward to the launch in February next year –it’s particularly good for us to see as we’ve been involved with the UK Council since before it was even formed, even consulting with Professor Byron as she was researching her report for the government.

It’s part of our remit as an internet security company to keep families and children safe online so we’ll be working with the council to help them promote the code when the campaign launches next year.
