NB. Obtaining an ICRA label (meta tag) is free and does not constitute membership of the organization.
ICRA is a non-profit organization that brings together major internet industry players, telecommunications companies, content providers and child protection bodies. The dual aims are to protect children and free speech rights on the internet. It’s a challenging area in which interests, opinions and the enormous diversity of world cultures are all brought into focus.
Membership of ICRA means that your company’s voice will be heard in this crucial arena!

Click the button at the top right of your screen to see our current members. Membership is open to a wide range of companies and non-profit organizations with a subscription structure to match. Join us, and see your company logo alongside some of the biggest names in the industry. We’re delighted to announce a new category of Associate Member too. This membership level is aimed at web professionals, in particular web design companies.
How?
ICRA has created a system that empowers parents to protect children from material they believe to be harmful while protecting freedom of expression. Choice is not censorship. ICRA works with content providers toward the responsible development and growth of the internet.
The Internet Content Rating Association does not rate internet content. Content providers do that, using the ICRA system. ICRA makes no value judgments about which sites are suitable for a child. Parents and other concerned adults do that.
Why?
Membership of ICRA allows you to participate directly in the development of technology to protect children on the internet and to promote self-regulation, not government regulation. It’s a chance to act as a “good corporate citizen” – a sound business move as consumers favour companies that are identified with the protection of children. Finally of course, you sit at the table with leaders of the internet industry.

Statement on partnerships with governments and their agencies
The Internet Content Rating Association is an independent, non-profit organization whose main aim is to empower parents to protect their children from potentially harmful content on the internet while protecting the free speech rights on content providers. Most of ICRA’s financial backing comes from industry and non-profit organizations as an indication of their support of this international, self-regulatory effort. ICRA also receives funding from government sources as in the case of the European Union’s Internet Action Plan’s grants. We accept grants, donations and other funding from governments and their agencies with the strict understanding that those governments will not in any way influence, determine or direct the work or activities of ICRA. And ICRA will insist that any government that enters into an arrangement or agreement that the government department or agency adhere to the ICRA principles of choice and not censorship. These principles will be laid out in any agreement or licensing arrangement that may subsequently be created. ICRA will defend its independence and will not enter into any agreement or arrangement that might in any way affect or undermine its values and principles. This applies to industry as well as government usage of the ICRA system.
