About us
Safermedia is a Charity seeking to reduce the harmful effects of the media on our children, families and society. The portrayal of explicit violence, sex and bad language are becoming normalised as mainstream fare, but research suggests they are partly to blame for violent crime and anti-social behaviour, family breakdown, pornography addiction and sex crime.
Our dream is to see the media influencing people positively and helping to create a safer and happier society for everybody! Help us get the message across to individuals, parents, the general public, government and the regulators.
Our aims
We want to raise awareness and increase understanding of the impact of harmful media content among policy makers, service providers and the public.
We seek to inform, educate and help parents, teachers and carers to protect children and young people better from harmful media.
We aim to monitor media content for compliance with current media regulations and law.
We seek strengthening of these regulations and laws, in the light of academic research.
We aim to commission research on media content.
What we do
- Make submissions to Government Committees and Public Consultations on the media
- Give talks to parents, clubs, students and churches
- Publicise academic research on the media
- Organise Parliamentary conferences
