Vodafone Malta has revamped its campaign to safeguard children's safety online as a Vodafone Malta Foundation initiative.

The key element of this campaign is a brand new website, ibrowsesafely.com.mt, as well as its associated Facebook page, which both act as interactive online platforms where parents, grandparents and educators can find the latest information on issues related to internet use and safety online.

Frequent blog posts, written by both parents and professionals, and other useful tools and resources are uploaded on a regular basis which are vetted by the Campaign's subject expert, Andrew Azzopardi, to ensure that the information is relevant and correct.

The project also consists of an outreach programme where regular information talks are held by Veronica Montanaro, the Campaign's Outreach Coordinator supported by Vodafone Malta employees. Training is also being provided to Vodafone's staff in all its retail outlets so that they can offer advice and assistance on this topic to parents.

'Technology is here to stay, and many parents, including myself as a parent of four, are understandably concerned about its influence on their children and family.' said Amanda Nelson, Vodafone Malta CEO,"As a leader in the telecommunications industry, this is why Vodafone has taken a conscious decision to be a leader in the promotion and education of the safe use of mobile technology and the internet, particularly for children who are of course the most vulnerable in this area. We hope that by educating and informing parents they will be better equipped to guide their children in using the internet sensibly and safely.'

ibrowsesafely.com.mt supports Malta's national campaign for the promotion of Online Safety - BeSmartOnline  run by the Malta Communications Authority.
