Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the policies that social media companies employ to prevent the abuse of disabled people.

DCMS hosted a Ministerial roundtable before Christmas with disability organisations to explore the issues faced by disabled people online and consult on the statutory social media code of practice. The forthcoming Online Harms White Paper will set out legislative measures to tackle the full range of online harms, including online abuse. We will continue to engage with the disabled community and other stakeholders as we develop our proposals.
