Internet Matters is an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to making the internet a safer place. Launched in 2014, the organisation works to provide access to free advice, based on three core objectives: to help families learn about e-safety; to give families information about setting and using network filters; and to encourage families to talk about internet safety.
The Internet Matters website also provides advice on various online safety issues including screen time; cyberbullying; privacy; inappropriate content and online reputation. In addition, the website provides access to parent stories, enabling families to get tips and understanding from real experiences.
