Child internet safety pioneer speaks

"In 1995 the police in Greater Manchester seized the grand total of 12 indecent images of children. All of them were on paper or on video. In 1999 we seized 41,000, all bar three of which had come from the Internet. Today we don't  bother  counting. there's no point." 

Those are the words of Terry Jones, a child internet safety pioneer who addresses law enforcers, psychologists, sociologists and legal practitioners at a conference to discuss the growing scale of what is a global issue for law enforcers in University College Cork today.

Mr Jones, a former inspector with Greater Manchester Police, is cited in a digital manifesto by the British Children’s Charities’ coalition for internet safety.

Dr Ethel Quayle of UCC’s Department of Applied Psychology will also address the conference.
