About this Event

What does a safe and welcoming online world look like? And how can we protect people, especially children, young people, and vulnerable communities, while also respecting privacy, freedom, and democracy?

In this session, we will explore practical ways to keep people safe online. We will talk about how parents can better understand and support their children in the digital world. We will also look at how artificial intelligence (AI) could help prevent online harm and make the internet a safer place for everyone. We will share how our research institute is contributing to this goal, developing new tools, insights, and technologies to protect individuals and support safer, more inclusive online environments.

Speakers

  • Emma Hardy, Communications Director, Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and Co-Director, UK Safer Internet Centre
  • Simon Bailey, Chair of IPPPRI, ARU
  • Dr Sarah Colley, IPPPRI Research Fellow, ARU

This event is organised by IPPPRI, the International Policing and Public Protection Research Institute - ARU at Anglia Ruskin University , as part of the Cambridge Festival.

Please note: This event is aimed at parents/guardians/carers and is not suitable for children to attend.
