Dr. Karen McAuley:

The Chair will be very familiar with our two core statutory functions. One is to promote the rights and welfare of children, which is where the policy and participation work of the office comes in. It is for enabling our duties under section 7. On complaints and investigations, we need to look at what role can we play. The complaints we deal with are about public bodies. Many of the bodies that will be covered by this are not public sector bodies. We might, for example, have a role relating to the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and in relation to the online safety commissioner itself, but it is unclear in terms of our complaints remit whether we would have a role and what it might be in terms of the actual company.
