What measures it is taking in order to protect children using the internet.

The Scottish Executive is taking action in a number of areas to protect children's safety on the internet.We are supporting the current UK-wide advertising campaign to protect children using the internet. The campaign seeks to raise public awareness of the activities of paedophiles and the steps that users can take to protect themselves. We are reviewing our existing "Click Thinking" guidance to schools and education authorities to promote safe and responsible use of the internet both at school and at home. The Police Service and the Crown Office are working together to improve their existing training on Internet Crime, including action to tackle grooming by paedophiles on the internet. We are also working with the Crown Office to identify the scale of such grooming and possible remedies. In this respect I refer the member to my answer to Mr Gil Paterson on 13 December, S1O-4309.
