NSPCC – Online Technology Related Harms
The NSPCC has published a news story on risk-based age ratings and keeping children safe online.
Two new polls commissioned by the NSPCC were carried out by YouGov and Savanta.
YouGov’s poll of 11- to 15-year-olds found that 74% would support age ratings on social media apps, like those used for movies and video games. Savanta interviewed adults and young people aged 16 and over and found that 92% supported an age-based classification system for social media apps and platforms.
The news story highlights key actions that the NSPCC are calling on the government to take to ensure technology companies keep children safe online.

Child sexual abuse
The Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse (CSA Centre) has published a new guide to support professionals in England and Wales with information sharing in relation to child sexual abuse. The guide aims to help people working with children learn how to use and share the information they hold with other professionals to effectively safeguard the children they work with from sexual abuse. It covers finding, sharing and using information from different agencies and organisations, including when and how information should be shared.
