The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and partners of the Child Online Protection Initiative have released updated Guidelines to strengthen online protection for children.
The Guidelines, issued on 5 September 2014, provide advice on how the information and communications technology industry can help promote safety for children who use the Internet or any technologies or devices that can connect to it, as well as guidance on how to enable responsible digital citizenship, learning and civic participation. The updated version provides guidance specifically aimed at companies that develop, provide or make use of information and communication technologies.
