Pyschologist and presenter of shows such as House of Tiny Tearaways, Dr Tanya Bryon is now the government’s family internet guru. The idea behind Byron’s new role appears to be explore the usage of the internet by children and families and to provide safe measures where the internet can be used whilst also offering recommendations to parents who haven’t grown up with online technology. We’re keen to see what she comes up with – the Telegraph article can be read here and finishes up with some sensible tips on safe internet usage for children.
Following a report Byron compiled for PM Gordon Brown, delivered in early 2008, the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) was also set up to help provide “regulation and education on Internet use, tackling problems of online bullying, safer search features and violent video games’.
