Children warned on internet safety

A 9m advertising campaign to raise awareness among parents and children about how to stay safe on the internet has been unveiled by the Government.

The 'e-safety' campaign, being launched later this summer, is part of an action plan implementing recommendations made in the Byron Review on improving children's safety when they play video games and go online (News, 2 April)

The UK Council for Child Internet Safety is to start work in September. It will be chaired by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Home Office

Ministers will write to representatives from the ICT industry, law enforcement and the voluntary sector this month, inviting them to sit on the board

One of the council's first tasks will be to develop a Child Internet Safety Strategy by spring 2009
