“I’m delighted to support Safer Internet Day 2026, and to celebrate all the amazing work to help make children’s digital lives better. This has been a challenging year: efforts to prevent and mitigate online harms are under threat, and public frustration at how long it takes to enforce regulation is palpable. In the research community, we strive to ensure that high-quality evidence is generated in ways that are timely and accessible, so that decision-making can be robust and well-informed. Our evidence takes many forms, including most importantly, the voices of children.”
