We won’t stop until every child is safe online
We know we can’t do it alone. We believe everyone can play a part in keeping children safe. Our CSO Taskforce is a diverse group of industry leaders passionate about helping us transform the online world for children. The Taskforce is working with us to help accelerate and unlock the ambitions of our work in online safety.
About the Child Safety Online Taskforce
The Taskforce provides us with strategic advice, insight and expertise. The members use their influence and networks to help us establish new ways of achieving our ambition of making children’s online lives safer.
They do this by helping us bring to life pioneering new programmes of work. This includes creating new strategic partnerships, sharing insights and mobilising people across their industries.
The Taskforce is making an impact through:
- industry change by championing a ‘safety by design’ approach to doing business
- child advocacy by helping us listen to and amplify the voices and experiences of children at a much bigger scale
- funding, resources and campaigns by helping us develop exciting new ways to mobilise people to support our work.
The Taskforce is a group of 11 NSPCC volunteers who are also senior executives across a range of industries. These industries include angel investing, consumer brands, digital parenting, financial services, government and public affairs, media, PR and technology.
The members of the Taskforce are:
The Taskforce has set up and continues to grow its network of industry leaders and supporters. Members of the Network of Champions help it to draw on a broader mix of perspectives, skills, networks and opportunities to help make a difference for children.
They do this by:
- sharing ideas and advice
- making connections from their networks
- supporting events and campaigns.
It’s an important way for people across a wide spectrum of industries to engage in and empower our online safety work.
"Helping to keep young people safe online is vital to their wellbeing and cross-industry collaboration is crucial. It's exciting to bring together a Taskforce full of experience, expertise and different perspectives to help us make a transformative impact for children."
Diala Khlat MBE, Chair of the CSO Taskforce
Child Safety Online is Good for Business
Upcoming new research shows child safety online is a next-frontier of commercial opportunity for businesses.
Doing the right thing in business pays.
For many industries, trends once considered ‘fringe’ have become central to consumer decisions, new markets and business opportunities. Digital technology rose to transform entire industries, often in previously unimaginable ways. Sustainability moved from a ‘CSR tick box exercise’ to be front of mind for consumers, employees, policymakers and investors.
Upcoming research from NSPCC and Baringa shows that Child Safety Online (CSO) is a next frontier of commercial opportunity.
It is only human to care about every child and their safety. Yet young people are not always safe online. Societal realisation of this issue is growing, shining a spotlight and influencing consumers’ spending choices and relationship with brands and companies.
Baringa and NSPCC have co-authored a new report to help businesses go beyond compliance and get ahead of the curve. With new consumer insight and real case studies, the report’s conclusions are clear. Now, more than ever, being good for children is good for business.
Launching in September 2025, the research looks across 11 different levers as a new model for commercial enterprise value creation. First, to help companies understand the opportunity, and second, to be able to take positive steps towards it. Standing still risks disruption and regulatory enforcement. The opportunity for adopters is clear: Win more.
After its exciting launch to the media on 30 September, please take a look at our executive summary, our Child Safety Online is Good for Business report, and this 2minute film that brings it to life.
