Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Ben Wallace and Fiona Mactaggart

Monday 23rd January 2017 Commons Chamber

[Fiona Mactaggart (Slough) (Lab)]

But actually, do not children need to be educated about how to help themselves stay safe online? If we had compulsory sex and relationships education, would not every school be able to make sure that every child knew how to be safe online?

[Mr Wallace]

May I ask the right hon. Lady to go on to the website of the National Crime Agency and look at the Thinkuknow campaign? The online tutorial is tailor-made for children and is broken down by age, so my young children have an appropriate curriculum to look at; it makes a real difference. There is even a tutorial for her, so that she may follow it and understand how she can be safe online and make sure children are as well.
