The two networks promote safe, responsible use of the internet and mobile devices to children, young people and families as well as working to identify and remove illegal content online, across Europe and beyond.Through a network of Safer Internet Centres (SICs), typically comprising an awareness centre, helpline, hotline and youth panel, children and young people, and their parents, carers and teachers, can access information, advice, support and resources, or indeed report any illegal content they encounter online.

On the occasion of the latest Insafe training meeting in Tallinn, a new resource catalogue has been published, containing information on a wide range of online safety resources. The division of the entries into four categories - ‘Videos, animations and documentaries’, ‘Games – online and offline’, ‘Apps and tools’, and ‘Training programmes and teachers packages’- facilitates a search for a specific type of material. Along with a more general description, the catalogue offers specific information on the re-usability and the reach and impact of each resource. You can download the PDF version of the booklet here.
