answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2020 answer text <p>The government intends to introduce world-leading Online Harms legislation to make the UK the safest place to be online. We intend to establish in law a new duty of care on companies towards their users which will be overseen by an independent regulator. The Government published its Initial Consultation Response to the Online Harms White Paper in February 2020, and this set out our direction of travel on a number of key areas. We are aiming to publish a full government response to the Online Harms White Paper consultation later this year, and this will include more detailed proposals on online harms regulation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In addition to this new legislation, it is important to make sure that the criminal law is fit for purpose to deal with online harms. DCMS and the Ministry of Justice have engaged the Law Commission on a second phase of their review of abusive and offensive online communications. The Law Commission will review existing communications offences and make specific recommendations about options for reform, to ensure that criminal law provides consistent and effective protection against such behaviour.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 26/06/2020 15:19:57 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

A Code of Safeguarding in Martial Arts was launched in March 2018 which sets consistent standards and provides parents with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about where to send their children for instruction.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We welcome the Ministry of Justice’s commitment, at a recent hearing of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, to change the law around ‘positions of trust’ in the Sexual Offences Act 2003. We look forward to working closely with the Ministry of Justice to ensure that sports coaches are included as part of these legislative changes.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 26/06/2020 09:20:54 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
