Ms Chris Kelly:

We do not have a centre in the Department. The PDST is our support service for schools when it comes to using the most common social media regardless of platform. This is the point to call for schools. It supports schools with various elements and aspects and with any difficulties they may have. It is able to advise them on where they might need to go depending on the problem. I see where the Deputy is coming from. He is possibly talking about a particular social media mechanism that allows people to put up harmful content. It is important to note that Coco's law, as the Deputy is probably well aware, was commenced in February. This creates a legislative framework and makes it an offence for people to post harmful content. The online safety and media regulation Bill will reinforce safety by requiring online platforms to have in place codes to underpin and allow for the removal of content. These are being developed - perhaps not in the Department of Education - and safeguards are being put in place to deal with what the Deputy is getting at.
