We continue to work with companies to drive greater transparency on online grooming and foster greater sharing of best practice and technology between companies.</p><p>The Home Office is also engaging with key industry stakeholders on the Online Harms White Paper. The White Paper will set out a range of legislative and non-legislative measures detailing how we will tackle online harms and set clear responsibilities for tech companies to keep UK citizens safe online. Protecting children from abuse and exploitation online will be a central component of the White Paper.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins grouped question UIN 210662 210664 question first answered 29/01/2019 17:15:16 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
