SaferInternetPlus
The Safer Internet plus programme aims to promote safer use of the Internet and new online technologies, particularly for children, and to fight against illegal content and content unwanted by the end-user.
The fight against illegal content is realized mainly through the „helpline“ that provides psychological and social assistence to children, and „hotline“, where anyone can announce the illegal content on the web.
SaferInternetPlus program builds on the Safer Internet Action Plan from the period of 198-2004. Calls for proposals for 2008 were closed on 28 May 2008. For the next period, 2009-2013, the European Commission prepared a proposal of new programme which will continue to create a safer online environment for children. The budget for this period will be of 55 M€.
