Safety and security
People often feel more secure carrying a mobile phone, especially in an emergency. Are we doing enough to minimise the risks from street crime? And are we adequately protecting the vulnerable, particularly children?
Safety first
Child safety is naturally one of our priority areas.
What are the issues?
We need to safeguard children from the potential dangers of a range of content and services available on a mobile phone.
