About Kidshield Europe

Kidshield Europe began in January 2007 with the aim of providing information to protect children online.

Our ongoing research and the feedback we receive from parents worldwide shows that there is a distinct lack of knowledge about what we can do to protect our kids online, and we aim to change that.

Our focus for 2008 is to dramatically increase the amount of children who surf the internet with parental filter controls. You wouldn't dream of allowing your kids out to a park in the middle of the night, but that is exactly what parents are doing by allowing their children unfiltered access to the world wide web.

""Because they are upstairs and they're quiet doesn't mean they're safe.  They're no more safe upstairs on the Internet than they are out in the park at 2 O'Clock in the morning"

 Our team consistently strive to provide you with the latest news stories and statistical data to ensure that all responsible adults concerned with child safety online can continue to protect their children online.

Kidshield Europe is run by volunteers who believe that making a difference starts with educating our children from a young age about potential dangers online - we do the same thing for the fire drill, so why not internet safety?  

"The Internet is still in it's infancy and what we've seen is an explosion of communication brought about by the ability to share information. Paedophiles use this technology to make direct contact with children, with each other, and to share information and images in a way that could not have been anticipated. 

Many parent are in denial about the real dangers their children face with online from risky sexual chat through to social networking and online chat rooms, to a direct approach from an online predator - we aim to change that through education and point of entry protection"
