Are GCSE exams getting easier or harder?
Dumbing down or smartening up? This year’s GCSE in Maths had some questions I think were much trickier than in other years. Example: Ratio questions used to be straightforward – ‘Bill and Ben share £469 in the ratio 2:5. How much do they each get?’ But this year there was... Continue reading

Online porn 'is turning children into sex attackers': Young act out depraved scenes they see on web, says Deputy Children's Commissioner
Children are committing depraved sex attacks after having their minds warped by online porn, a government expert warned yesterday. In evidence to MPs, the Deputy Children’s Commissioner claimed there ‘isn’t a town, village or hamlet in which children are not being sexually exploited’ – often by other youngsters. Sue Berelowitz... Continue reading

In 2004 the mobile phone operators signed up to a new code of practice that stops children from using unmoderated chat rooms, porn sites and gambling services. From the end of 2004 they became required to make sure that a person is over 18 before allowing them to buy a... Continue reading

The tech industry needs to behave more responsibly
We believe that social networking sites take too long to respond to complaints and to requests to take down content - for example, cyberbullying content. Should fines be considered?

When it comes to child safety, why do we think of the online and offline worlds as different?
Offline, the environment supports young people with signs and expected behaviour from others in the community – the green man, zebra crossings, speed limits and other responsible adults. Going online and playing video games may be more complex and diverse than crossing the road, but it illustrates that we should... Continue reading
