Government Consultation: Have your Say

3 March 2016

The UK Government has launched a consultation into the issue of age verification for pornography.

As the consultation states:

“The UK is a world leader in the work it does to improve child safety online, but we cannot be complacent. Government has a responsibility to protect citizens from harm, especially the young and most vulnerable.
That is why we committed in our manifesto to requiring age verification for access to pornographic material online, and are now seeking views on how we deliver on our commitment.”

To respond, you can review the consultation documents and complete the online form at the following page:

The consultation will run until midday on Tuesday 12 April 2016.
