How are children protected online and who is responsible for enforcing this?

Alma-Constance and Lucinda talk to Emily Keaney, Deputy Commissioner Regulatory Policy at the Information Commissioner’s Office who tells us:

· About her role and the work of ICO

· the impact of the Children’s Code developed to protect children

· the ICO’s involvement with the the Online Safety Bill

· what can be done to stop bullying of children on social media platforms

· when is it safe for a child to have a smartphone

· how the ICO works with other organisations to help protect children online

When Emily was 10 years old she liked to play with her friends in the park and wanted to be an actor.
