The Virtual Global Taskforce partnership aims to make the Internet a safer place for children and a more hostile place for paedophiles. The website acts as a gateway to information on how to use the Internet safely, and links to a range of support agencies that can advise and support victims of abuse. It also facilitates the ability of Internet users to report on-line child abuse in a secure and confidential environment. The aim is for the website to become a "one stop shop" for all information about child protection on-line.
