Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps her Department has taken to support platform compliance with Ofcom's guidance entitled A Safe Life Online for Women and Girls; and by what metrics she plans to measure the impact of that guidance.

The Secretary of State has been clear that the government expects platforms to implement Ofcom's guidance by the end of the year and has engaged directly with platforms to communicate this message. Ofcom plans to publish a report on platform's compliance with the guidance and the Secretary of State has encouraged Ofcom to do this as soon as possible.

Ministers have regular meetings with Cabinet colleagues on a range of subjects, including online safety for women and girls.
