<p>The Government's Internet Safety Strategy Green Paper sets out our expectation
for social media and technology companies to protect young users from online harms.
Measures include a social media Code of Practice, to address conduct that is bullying
or insulting to users, or other behaviour that is likely to intimidate or humiliate.</p><p>
</p><p>The Strategy also outlines the crucial role that education plays in raising
the level of users' safety online. DCMS and DfE will ensure new compulsory subjects
in England, Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education, and Personal,
Social, Health, Economic education (if taken forward), address the challenges experienced
by young people online. Parents, carers and teachers should be empowered to engage
with young people on online issues and we are consulting on support Government can
offer.</p><p> </p><p>Since September 2016 the Department for Education has provided
£1.6 million to four anti-bullying organisations to support schools over two years.
The Government Equalities Office has also funded anti-cyberbullying and online safety
resources available to schools through the UK Safer Internet Centre.</p>
