•Children and adolescents will be included in the study if they meet diagnostic criteria for a primary diagnosis of anxiety (social anxiety disorder, specific phobia, separation anxiety disorder, generalised anxiety disorder) with a clinical severity rating (CSR) of at least 4 (on a 0-8 scale). Comorbidity with other disorders will be permissible as long as the anxiety disorder is considered primary. Participants with comorbid depression will be excluded if the depression is severe (rated 6 or higher on an 8-point scale). Families must have access to a suitable computer and the internet, and be willing to participate in the study.

•As the internet program requires a minimum reading age of 8 years, children with an identified intellectual handicap or learning disability will not be included. Children with a pervasive developmental disorder will also be excluded. For ethical reasons pertaining to the danger of potential self-harm, youngsters with clinical levels of depression (Clinician Severity Rating of 6 or higher on a 0-8 scale on the ADIS-C/P) will not be included in the program and will be referred elsewhere for assistance.
