Parents are telling the UK Government to announce its online safety plan “in weeks, not months” as a public consultation on children’s online safety closes. The reports say the Government’s “Growing Up In The Online World” consultation is ending, and that parents and campaigners are urging officials to move quickly on the next stage. While the articles focus on the timing, they frame the call as a response to concerns about the pace of policy development and the need for clearer protections for children and young people online.

Across the coverage, the common elements are that the consultation is closing and that parents have made a specific request regarding how soon the Government should set out its planned approach. The outlets do not present conflicting details about the consultation or the message from parents, and they do not indicate that the Government has yet announced a firm publication date for the online safety plan. The emphasis remains on the end of the consultation and the pressure on Government to follow with an updated policy framework promptly.
