Sharing – Mental Health Awareness Week – Doing one of the most difficult jobs

This is important work done by the Internet Watch Foundation, and I’m glad they see how important the mental health impact can be.

“Our analysts see more distressing images in a day than most see in their lifetime. Day in, day out, we see many children whose peace of mind is ruined by an internet which should be a place of joyful exploration, freedom, and discovery. It takes a very special person to be able to view these images without losing their compassion and concern. And a much larger team to look after these professionals.

Our gold-standard welfare system is in place to help them do this crucial task, even more within the current extraordinary circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic. “

I salute the work they do, and hope they are well-taken care of as they do what they can to help the victims.
