Clinical psychologist and TV presenter Dr Tanya Byron is weighing up an offer from prime minister Gordon Brown to compile a follow up report to assess the impact of her recent study of online child safety. Byron told the Commons culture, media and sport select committee today that Brown had asked her to compile a report in four years' time to assess whether her recommendations on child Internet safety have successfully been introduced or not.
Her recent report took six months to compile and was commissioned by Gordon Brown.
Byron admitted that she "had no idea" how much her policies would cost to implement but said that it would require "lots of money" and "proper resourcing".
This report highlights the recent dangers of social networking, with sites such as MySpace and Facebook becoming popular, safety measures may have to be put into place.
