Why
The digital era brings with it huge opportunities. It also brings with it risks and harms, particularly to the young and vulnerable in our society.
We want to support wide public engagement and encourage a bold reimagining of the vision for us and our children. If we all live by our commitments, we can move away from a digital world built on profit and exploitation, to one built for human flourishing.
This is a responsibility that we all share.
If not now, when?
If not us, who?
What
This website was originally created in response to the UK Government Curriculum Review in 2024, and published our Response to the Review, accompanied by an Open Letter.
Whilst that Review has been concluded, we remain committed to playing our part.
We want to publicly state our intention to live by The Commitments we have published, and encourage others to do the same.
Because every decision we make, or fail to make, has consequences. Regardless of the size of our organisation, nature of our role, or level of our influence, what we do matters.
Who
We all work in the world of data in some capacity and have seen the trajectory that we have been on. We simply want to do all we can to ensure the safety and wellbeing of some of the most vulnerable in our society and encourage a community wide commitment to build a kinder and safer future for everyone.
Data is at the heart of our lives and as we emerge into the 5th industrial revolution, the power of data and technology is only increasing. It can be a force for good and it can be a force for bad - the power is in our hands.
Silence is acceptance. We do not want to stay silent.
