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
I've asked and it will be done via online invites to parents as parents have to give consent for children to take the surveys (which they will take on their own).

It won't actually be focusing on over 18 sites, but on user to user generated content sites.
