Ms Alex Cooney:

To add to my colleagues' points with regard to signposting, warnings and so on, this is an opportunity for public awareness campaigns along the lines of road safety campaigns, where we have seen significant investment over the years in public awareness campaigns which make a difference. We should do much more on that.

I hope that would come under the remit of the online safety commissioner's office.

Regarding child-friendly versions of different online services, we must be a little careful there because, inevitably, children want to be where their peers are, and often where their older peers are. One would really struggle to keep them on these supposedly safer platforms. I have heard them described as training grounds. That is right. I would exercise some caution there and I would focus more on issues such as age verification, looking at safe ways of identifying whether it is a child who is accessing a particular platform and what safeguarding measures should be put in place to protect that child.
