Child Online Protection
Child Online Protection (COP) is an initiative which was established by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in November 2008, to promote online safety of children around the world. ITU released the first set of COP guideline in 2009. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the number of children online due to remote schooling this led to the release of the revised ITU guidelines on COP in July 2020（https://www.itu-cop-guidelines.com/）.
The Commission held a virtual hangout with children in order to adopt the revised and localized guidelines, for Nigerian children. The localized versions are:
