I would like to make an additional point. Earlier Ms Hodnett mentioned the meeting in mid-January with our youth advisory committee to consult it on our draft online safety code. I hope its members will not mind me saying that one of the issues they spoke about a great deal, which was very helpful, was the importance of education and awareness raising, including on rights in a digital environment, for children and young people and for parents and guardians. I have in mind what some of what the young people spoke to us about, and which Ms Hodnett spoke about in her statement, which is the importance of children being part of the conversation in helping us to find solutions that work for them. We are speaking about education for children with regard to online safety. Regardless of how we frame it, we should hear from them about what works for them. They know what kind of messaging and forms of communication they will engage with so that the messaging really taps in to them and suits where they are at. This was very important for the young people who said it.
