2016 CEF Telecom call - Safer Internet (CEF-TC-2016-4) CEF-TC-2016-4-SaferInternet Closed!
Objectives
The ultimate user beneficiary is the citizen, primarily children, who because of increased awareness and empowerment strategies will be given the possibility to improve their digital skills and be active and create in a safer digital environment, as well as to get better choice of quality content and active experiences specifically designed for them, supported by greater protection. Parents, care-takers, teachers and professionals working with children at risk are key intermediaries who will be able to have a higher level of understanding and trust in the way in which content and services are accessed and used by children. Industry stands to benefit from increased market opportunities for content and for impact of awareness campaigns, and from cross-border provision of associated services (helplines, hotlines) and child-rated content.
Actions
The specific objective is to set up and to support generic services provided by Safer Internet Centres (SICs) in Member States where no Safer Internet Centre was selected for support under the previous Safer Internet call (CEF-TC-2015-1), building on their interoperability with the EU core platform and its services. The SICs will maintain and expand national platforms to run a range of safer internet services providing:
- An awareness centre for empowering children, parents and teachers to make the best use of the internet, building on enhanced digital resource centres (repositories), from which specific awareness toolkits and services will be adapted and deployed, in cooperation with third parties (schools, industry).
- Online helpline services for reporting and dealing with harmful contact (e.g. grooming, online abuse), conduct (e.g. cyberbullying, hate speech, sexting) and content online
- A hotline for receiving and managing reports and data on online illegal child sexual abuse material
