That sounds like an interesting project, I wonder how they're going to manage it?
I can't imagine an Ofcom employee standing outside schools questioning the kids as they arrive, that could end up as rather embarrassing.
Email questionnaire maybe? Nah, I can't see kids of that age bothering with email addresses, and those that do would probably hit delete without reading.
However it's conducted would have to be on an individual basis too, no point asking a room full of kids if they've recently tried to watch porn or access a website selling knives is it.
I wonder if it will fall once again into the hands of teachers, taking time out of the ridiculous notion of actually
educating children in order to have 1 on 1 sessions with them to create yet another statistical database used to create even more 'safeguarding' initiatives.
I'm surprised all kids aged 8 to 15 aren't now so confused by it all that they spend time on street corners drinking white lightening
