CCDH’s Ofcom Children’s Codes Consultation
Consultation on protecting children from online harms under the UK's Online Safety Act
CCDH welcomes the opportunity to respond to Ofcom's "Protecting Children from Harms Online" consultation, a consultation to implement the Online Safety Act.
About
CCDH has supported the Online Safety Act since its inception. We commend Ofcom for the extensive work put into drafting the materials under review in the “Protecting Children from Harms Online” consultation.
As guided by our global standard for regulating social media, the CCDH STAR Framework, CCDH believes these proposals can be strengthened and offers evidence from our research to support the additional obligations and measures we suggest.
The protection of Children’s Codes must be properly enforced, strengthened overtime, and never compromised to ensure a safe world for kids online.
