Mumsnet have been asked to attend a Parliamentary Inquiry (set up by a group of MPs and Peers from all political parties) into online child protection next week and we wanted to know your thoughts on the topic. It is obviously quite a wide header, but the terms of reference are as follows:
"1. To understand better the extent to which children access on-line pornography and the potential for harm that this may cause
- To determine what British Internet Service Providers have done to date to protect children online and the extent and possible impact of their future plans in this area
- To determine what additional tools parents require to protect children from inappropriate content
- To establish the arguments for and against network level filtering of content that would require an 18 rating in other forms of media
- To recommend to Government the possible form of regulation required if ISPs fail to meet Recommendation no.5 from the Bailey Review."
Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey. Our focus will be to represent Mumsnetters' (and kids') experiences, broadly responding to points 1 and 3, but there is also space for any other thoughts you may have, and we'll also reference discussions that have already taken place on the site.
NB: Your ISP is the company who sends you the bill for your internet usage at home
It is open to all UK Mumsnetters with at least one child. Everyone who takes part will have our grateful thanks and if you enter your details at the end you will also be entered into a prize draw to win a £50 Amazon voucher and a copy of The Mumsnet Rules.
Thanks and good luck with the prize draw!
