<p>Ofcom’s 2019 report “Children and parents: media use and attitudes” indicates that
three-quarters of parents of children who go online feel they know enough to keep
their child safe online. However, parents’ confidence in protecting their children
online declines with the age of the child – from 81% of parents of children aged 5
to 7, to 74% of parents of children aged 12 to 15.</p><p><br>The Government is committed
to supporting parents in preventing and dealing with online harm. The Online Harms
White Paper sets out our plans for world-leading legislation to make the UK the safest
place in the world to be online. Ahead of legislation, the government will develop
an online media literacy strategy. This strategy will ensure a coordinated and strategic
approach to online media literacy education and awareness for children and parents.</p>
