Mr. Tim Dawson:

There are number of strands. Journalists need to be trained and prepared for how they deal with these situations. It is important that when it is possible for the perpetrators to be prosecuted that they are prosecuted. It is important that the platforms take more steps to prevent the abuse happening at source. It is important that we track the problem, so we know where it is happening. With this combination of taking the issue seriously, it should be possible to make a significant difference.

The overarching thing is to create an atmosphere in which people understand. Some of the perpetrators are very bad people who wish to cause harm. Some are foolish people who think it does not matter. Where the bad people transgress the law they need to be prosecuted. The foolish people need to be taught that personal criticism in any sphere, whether it is name-calling in a pub or being done online, can be deeply damaging to the intended victim and is something we should all trying to rein in.
