Our Work
Keeping people safe online
Everyone online can recognise manipulation and has somewhere to turn when it reaches them.
Led by the Digital Well-being & Mental Health Initiative, an ISAC Foundation centre. 3 commitments for 2030.
The problem and who we serve
Children meet manipulation before they meet malware. Scams, grooming and dark patterns reach them on the first phone they hold, and most schools have no structured programme to prepare them. We make awareness a recorded, free, lifelong credential and build the clubs where it is practised.
