Ms Caroline Counihan:

Mr. Church mentioned the idea of safety by design and building safety in from the very beginning of an enterprise, in co-operation between law enforcement, Internet service providers, victim support organisations, organisations such as the ISPCC which support children and, in this country, the National Advisory Council for Online Safety. The idea is that everybody gets around the table and explains what should not be included in the design of a new programme, application, or form of communication on the Internet in the first place. Let us not even nip it in the bud but, rather, make sure there is no bud to nip in the first place. I would like to know what the attitudes of the representatives from the tech companies would be to that.
