Call for Evidence: Child Internet Safety

The UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) Evidence Group is currently updating the literature review of available evidence related to child internet safety published in 2012. It aims to provide an overview of current research in this area in order to identify trends and knowledge gaps, and inform related policy decisions.

In order to ensure a comprehensive review of the currently available evidence, we are releasing an open call for relevant research evidence in this area.

We are interested in receiving stakeholder reports or academic articles which detail the results of empirical research in the following areas:

1.       Children’s online activities

2.       Risk of harm to children online

3.       Vulnerable children

4.       Initiatives to safeguard children online

 

The research can be based on qualitative or quantitative methodologies, as well as systematic reviews / rapid evidence assessments. It must be publicly available and meet the criteria outlined in the UKCCIS Guide on Good Quality Research.

The research should ideally have a UK focus, though evidence which benchmarks aspects of child internet safety against other countries also has relevance.

Please send relevant submissions electronically to Dr Jo Bryce ([log in to unmask]) by Friday 24th February.

 

Research Highlights Series

We are also currently inviting submissions for the Research Highlight Series. These are a two page summary of research studies relevant to child internet safety which aim to provide non-academic audiences with a useful summary of their main findings and implications. The submission criteria are the same as those identified above.

If you are interested in preparing a Research Highlight on the basis of your research, please contact Dr Jo Bryce ([log in to unmask]) for further details. Please note that submissions are accepted on a rolling basis.

If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact Professor Julia Davidson ([log in to unmask]).
