Internet: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions she has had with the Children’s Commissioner for England on proposals to protect young people in a) Newcastle-under-Lyme, b) Staffordshire and c) England from harm online.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
On 2 March, the government launched a landmark consultation on how to give young people the childhood they deserve in an online world. This includes versions accessible to both children and busy parents.
In addition, we have started the National Conversation to gather input from parents and children throughout the UK. Children are at the heart of this discussion; we've held two events with the Children’s Commissioner for England so far, and we plan to keep working together in the future.
Details of ministerial meetings, including the purpose of meetings, are published quarterly on the GOV.UK website.
