The Bishop of Gloucester asked whether the government would give assurances that children’s rights to a healthy digital environment would be taken into consideration in the upcoming Online Safety Bill on 1st July 2021:
The Lord Bishop of Gloucester: My Lords, the online safety Bill talks about protecting
“rights to freedom of expression”,
but nowhere does it refer to children’s rights to grow up in a healthy digital environment. Can the Minister give assurance that this will be addressed?
Baroness Berridge (Con): My Lords, the key point around the protections we are putting in place and why the strongest protections are for children, reflected in the Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance, is that we want children to benefit and flourish using digital technology but to be kept safe online.
