Today is Internet Watch Foundation Awareness Day.

The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) was established in 1996 by the UK internet industry to provide the UK internet Hotline for the public and IT professionals to report potentially illegal online content within our remit and to be the 'notice and take-down' body for this content. We work in partnership with the online industry, law enforcement, government, the education sector, charities, international partners and the public to minimise the availability of this content, specifically, child sexual abuse content hosted anywhere in the world and criminally obscene and incitement to racial hatred content hosted in the UK.

If you see any illegal content (specifically Child sexual abuse content hosted worldwide and criminally obscene and incitement to racial hatred content hosted in the UK) on the internet then report it via their website: www.iwf.org.uk
