Public, Community & Workplace
Public WiFi keeps people connected across town centres, public spaces, community facilities and workplaces every day. From the moment they connect, they expect a safe and positive online experience. Friendly WiFi provides trusted, independent assurance that public WiFi meets recognised standards for filtering harmful and illegal content, helping organisations create safer digital environments for employees, residents, families and visitors.
Creating Safer Digital Spaces
Organisations across public, community and workplace settings, including councils, town centres, community spaces, public buildings and workplaces, can become Friendly WiFi certified and display the recognised Friendly WiFi symbol.
Certification provides independent assurance that their public WiFi meets the Friendly WiFi standard, including the required filtering to block access to pornography and known child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Once certified, organisations can proudly display the Friendly WiFi symbol, giving employees, residents, families and visitors a clear and recognisable sign that safer public WiFi is provided.

Our trusted clients across public, community and workplace settings include local authorities, town centres, public buildings, community spaces and workplaces.
