A joint partnership between BT and the Marie Collins Foundation

CLICK: Path to Protection is an initiative that has been jointly formed by BT and the MCF. BT and the MCF want to ensure that every professional working with children that are the victims of online abuse, understands not only what his/her role entails but also those of their colleagues from organisations jointly charged with protecting children. BT is wholly committed to safeguarding those who could potentially be at risk to online abuse, particularly children.

“It is comforting to see that the Marie Collins Foundation is trying to address the issues of children harmed online and enabling front line practitioners to conduct work with children that is based on relevant research. I will be a regular visitor to the website and will be advertising the charity in the workshops I facilitate.”
