As part of its membership role, Kingston is hosting and managing ICRA’s presence on the Internet.
“We have worked with ICRA for a number of years and have recently expanded the support we provide to them,” says Philip Raddon, Group IT Director at Kingston Communications. “We were keen to use our expertise and hosting facilities to help ICRA in its work to protect vulnerable people from unsuitable content on the Web.”
Kingston’s membership underlines the increasing importance of child safety on the Internet. As a national provider of broadband in the UK, our company is committed to helping parents protect their children from objectionable material. Kingston is also a member of the Internet Watch Foundation, the UK body designed to track and remove illegal Internet content.
“We are pleased to welcome Kingston as an ICRA member,” said Stephen Balkam, CEO of ICRA. “Kingston is a valuable partner in our mission to promote child safety online while promoting the free flow of digital content.”
