Review and strengthen protections for children online
Review protections for children online. This should include how social media companies are held responsible for identifying grooming behaviour, reporting suspected exploitation, and improving safeguards to prevent predators contacting children.
Children are increasingly exposed to risks from online predators through social media and messaging platforms. Many families believe current safeguards do not go far enough to prevent grooming and exploitation. Stronger protections, clearer responsibilities for technology companies, and tougher action against those targeting children online are needed to better protect young people. The law should also introduce stronger penalties for those who target children online and require better education. These changes could be known as Christopher’s Law.
