19. Mr. Whittingdale: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what progress has been made in establishing the UK Council for Child Internet Safety; and if he will make a statement. [320694]
Dawn Primarolo: The UK Council for Child Internet Safety was established on 29 September 2008 and now has over 160 members from Government, law enforcement, the third sector and industry.
In December last year, UKCCIS launched its first child internet safety strategy ‘Click Clever, Click Safe’. We believe this is the first such strategy of its kind anywhere in the world and represents a real step forward in the development of work to keep children safe online.
