ARU launch new tool to help online abuse victims

15/06/2026

 

The ECHO Survivor Hub was unveiled at IPPPRI26, the annual conference of the International Policing and Public Protection Research Institute (IPPPRI), part of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU).

 

The hub has been developed by researchers at IPPPRI at Anglia Ruskin University, in partnership with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and Protect Children. Once a victim has been referred to the hub, the IWF will actively search for their images that have been widely shared, and work to have them removed from websites.
