Digital Futures Commission

The Digital Futures Commission is the predecessor of our Digital Futures for Children centre (DFC). An ambitious research programme led by Professor Sonia Livingstone OBE, the Digital Futures Commission was guided by a group of Commissioners with expertise in how children and digital technology intersect. Over the three-year duration of the Commission, our focus was on driving real world change for children and young people. An exciting research collaboration of innovators, policymakers, regulators, academics and civil society, the Digital Futures Commission aimed to put the needs and rights of children and young people into the minds and work plans of digital innovators, businesses, regulators and governments.
