What can we do about this?<br />

As an INHOPE Hotline (International Association of<br />

Internet Hotlines) we work closely with all other INHOPE<br />

Hotlines around the world to ensure that we alert our<br />

partners when we find child sexual abuse content hosted<br />

in their country. Our Deputy CEO & CTO Fred Langford is<br />

also INHOPE President, and <strong>IWF</strong> Portals (see page 29) are<br />

now included within the INHOPE umbrella.<br />

We also have strong partnerships with countries with<br />

no INHOPE Hotline, individual police forces and with<br />

INTERPOL. Additionally, we “chase up” our partners if<br />

this criminal imagery is not removed quickly. Through<br />

doing this we help to speed up the removal of child sexual<br />

abuse imagery on a global level.<br />
