Background
Require public WiFi in venues with potential child footfall to undergo a digital risk assessment and meet minimum safety standards, including Safe Search, filtering, VPN blocking, and user access controls. Introduce a visible digital safety rating, similar to food hygiene scores, and link compliance to existing safeguarding and licensing frameworks to ensure accountability and child protection.
