Next steps for protecting children online - final reminder for the Westminster eForum Keynote Seminar, Morning, Thursday, 26th January 2012

(20/01/2012)

This seminar focuses on latest developments in public policy and business practice to protect young people from inappropriate and illegal content online, offering a timely opportunity to assess progress made and the work still to do. It includes a keynote address from the minister responsible for online child protection, Lynne Featherstone MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Equalities and Criminal Information, Home Office.

It takes place as the Parliamentary Inquiry into Online Child Protection led by Claire Perry MP - a keynote speaker at this seminar - releases its findings, as ‘ParentPort’ is launched as a cross-media regulatory ‘one-stop-shop’ for concerned parents, and ISPs begin to implement their voluntary code of conduct including giving parents an ‘active choice’ to turn on filtering.

We are pleased to include presentations from a range of key interested parties: ATVOD; Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP); Facebook; Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB); the Internet Watch Foundation; the NSPCC; Ofcom; TalkTalk; Telefónica; the UK Children’s Charities’ Coalition on Internet Safety and UNICEF.

Panel sessions at this event focus on:
· The realities - a law enforcement perspective, on the exposure of young people to online crime and unsuitable content;
· Education - how to prepare young people to make ‘good’ choices and protect themselves on the web;
· Support for parents - options for improving parents’ understanding of the dangers that exist online to enable an ‘active’ but appropriate response;
· The practicalities - how Parentport will work in practice and the challenges to implementation;
· The priorities - next steps for delivering a collaborative strategy for Government, regulators, industry and parents; and
· Unforeseen consequences - is access to culturally-rich content via the internet and legitimate online services likely to be unduly impeded by new measures?

The seminar is organised on the basis of strict impartiality by the Westminster eForum.
