The Forum will be composed of three workshops and a plenary session for discussing relevant issues with stakeholders which, in addition to the public consultation on Safer Internet and online technologies for children, will give input for the Commission's decision whether to propose a follow-up programme from 2009 to 2013.

The three workshops focus on:

• Online-related sexual abuse of children, in particular grooming
• Assessing the need for awareness-raising for creating a safe online environment for children
• The impact and consequences of convergence of online technologies for online safety

Participants will include representatives of industry, law enforcement authorities, child welfare organisations and policy makers.
