The Government has today announced new powers to strengthen child online safety including action on AI chatbots and confirmation that Jools’ Law will finally be enacted.

This is a deeply significant moment. But this cannot be where the story ends.

As Dr Becky Foljambe, founder of Health Professionals for Safer Screens, told Sky News:

“The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges have already declared this a public health emergency. Health professionals do not need more conversations. Like parents, they need real action now.”

Children are being harmed now. The evidence is clear. Clinicians are seeing the consequences in their consulting rooms every day.
