I do have a limited knowledge of Child Care legislation and have a question arising from this ... some official bodies ie social services dept and the police are invested with "powers to investigate" powers being discretionary . Those bodies invested with powers are also designated with "duties to investigate" in certain circumstance, Duties being an imperative
Have any "duties to investigate" breaches of RIPA etc been identified as duties placed on relevant authorities within any relevant legislation ?

It might be advisable to look at the very serious issue of informed consent for minors. Although not directly related to this issue, you could read up on Gillick's Competence, it was enacted by the House of Lords so it is of the highest precedent in the land as far as I am aware.
In context, the issue of informed consent with regards to Phorm becomes extremely complex when you look at shared logins, schools and other public sector internet access (libraries etc.) when we start to look at the implications of informed consent for minors.
