It is scheduled following the report to Ministers of the Parliamentary Inquiry into Online Child Protection - delegates will assess the practical options for providing what the Culture Secretary has called an "active choice" about using parental controls, such as age verification tools, website monitoring and methods of filtering content used by online services - and review next steps for policy.
