On 5 September 2014, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and partners of the Child Online Protection Initiative, have released updated Guidelines to strengthen online protection for children.

The new Guidelines provide advice on how the ICT industry can help promote safety for children using the Internet or any technologies or devices that can connect to it.

The document will also provide guidance on how to enable responsible digital citizenship, learning and civic participation.
