Reg Bailey, chief executive of the Mothers' Union and author of the government?s Let Children be Children, is joining us for a webchat this Friday, 10 June, 11am to 12pm.
Following our Let Girls be Girls campaign , launched early in 2010, we?ve been asking retailers to commit not to sell products which play upon, emphasise or exploit their sexuality.
The government has now responded to our campaign and Reg Bailey?s report, which included these recommendations:
? Retailers to ensure magazines with sexualised images have modesty sleeves.
? Music videos to be sold with age ratings.
? Procedures to make it easier for parents to block adult and age restricted material on internet.
? Code of practice to be issued on child retailing.
? Create a single website for parents to complain to regulators.
? Change rules on nine o'clock television watershed to give priority to views of parents.
Please join us live to ask Reg about the report, or if you can't make it, please post your question here.
