Application form to become a full member of the Council
Introduction
The Byron Review recommended the creation of the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS).
Established by and reporting to the Prime Minister, UKCCIS is a stakeholder advisory group enabling Government Departments and stakeholders - including industry and the third and public sectors - to come together and contribute jointly to the development and delivery of a strategy for child internet safety.
Points to consider before applying
Council membership carries no legal commitment, but, prospective Council members must be prepared to:
Take an active interest/role in one or more of the working groups to be commissioned by the Executive Board of the Council
Act as voluntary ambassadors for children's internet safety
3) Support the decisions and outputs of the Council
We do not expect any of the above conditions to be particularly onerous in terms of time commitments or financial costs. Please note though that membership of the Council is on an unpaid, non-executive basis and members are not eligible for any form of renumeration in connection to any of their work for, or on behalf of, the Council
Applicants that are not willing or able to fulfil the above conditions are encouraged to become part of the Council mailing list that will provide regular updates on the work of the council and other events in the world of young people's internet safety. If you wish to only join the mailing please e-mail [email address]
If applicant organisations already have partner organisations or are members of trade associations that are members of the council, it may be easier to feed views through them instead of applying for full council membership.

Annex: Questions about membership
Who are the founding members of the Council?
Initially the council comprised those who contributed to the Home Secretary's Task Force on Child Internet Safety and people/organisations who provided help to the Byron Review.
Can individuals join or just as representatives of organisations?
Individuals may join the council but we encourage organisations to apply and provide one point of contact rather than submitting multiple applications
What are the criteria for selecting members?
The council already has good representation in most areas of interest and in order for the council to remain a manageable size admission will be on the basis of:
expertise that will be of benefit to the council and its working groups and standing groups;
capacity to influence and
commitment and enthusiasm for supporting the council's work and decisions it makes.
Does being a council member give automatic right to join working groups and sub-groups?
No. Council members should apply to working groups and sub-groups as appropriate to their expertise and interest but spaces in the groups will be limited. Council members who are not part of working groups are encouraged to feed their views in through other members and the member of the Executive Board that represents their sector(s).
What happens if an application is unsuccessful?
If it is decided that an applicant does meet the criteria to be a full member of the council, they will be added to the council mailing list.
