I thank the Minister for her answer and her continued work on the issue. As she mentioned, and as we all know, online abuse starts early in these times where children cannot escape it. Cyberbullying causes huge devastation in schools and society. The Education Minister has introduced a pilot scheme for magnetic pouches in schools to address the impact of phones on children. Does the Minister agree that that is an opportunity for her to work with the Education Minister and support his initiative to help to address cyberbullying and online abuse in schools?
