The Online Safety Act is now law. The Act makes online services with users in the UK legally responsible for keeping adults and children safe online – even if the business or people who provide it are based outside of the UK.
As the UK's online safety regulator, Ofcom's role is to provide guidance to support regulated services, make sure services comply with their new obligations, and take action to build a safer life online.
The duties to protect children are in addition to keeping all users safe from illegal content online.
You can now watch the recordings of our online conference – a series of webinars which;
- explained what the Online Safety Act's protection of children duties mean for you
- showed how to use our latest digital toolkit (available from May 2025) to guide compliance for your business
- featured Q&A sessions
Who should watch: Anyone in scope of the Online Safety Act whose online service is likely to be accessed by children. Check here to see if the Online Safety Act applies to you, and if so, you need to check if your service is likely to be accessed by children through our Children's Access Assessment.
By now, all regulated services should have completed their Children's Access Assessment.
These recordings are intended for an industry audience and those supporting compliance, but may be of interest to others working in online safety.
