Help us make the internet a hostile place for child sexual abuse material
The CSAM Deterrence Centre works with the technology industry and other stakeholders to design interventions that prevent the access and sharing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and other harmful behaviours, including grooming and sexual extortion.
Work with Us
We help technology companies create safe online communities aligned with regulatory requirements
We can help you design, implement, and evaluate deterrence messaging campaigns to prevent the online spread of all forms of child exploitation such as child sexual abuse material and grooming.
Scale of the Problem
The scale of CSAM offending is alarming. By understanding its prevalence, we can develop and implement better solutions to keep children safe.
Our Approach
The prevalence of online child abuse material is a serious issue for platform vendors. We can help you implement strong safety measures, and enhance platform integrity to keep children safe.
Collaborate with Us
We can help you inform users of the risks associated with their online behaviours; and, facilitate help-seeking by sign-posting to support services that can help change behaviours and keep children safe; and, help you address your regulatory requirements.
