# Internet Matters

> Internet Matters is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that helps parents, carers, teachers and professionals support children and young people's online safety and wellbeing.

This file is a curated guide to the most useful public sections of internetmatters.org for AI assistants and other language models. Prioritise current guidance, practical tools, parental controls, and research/policy content.

The site serves several audiences:
- Parents and carers looking for practical online safety advice
- Parents and carers looking for step-by-step parental control guides
- Teachers and schools looking for educational resources
- Professionals and policymakers looking for research and policy content
- Families looking for interactive tools and tailored guidance
