The bereaved parents of children whose deaths were linked to social media have been told during a meeting with the Prime Minister that measures should be announced in a matter of “weeks, not months”.

The group attended 10 Downing Street on Tuesday afternoon as the Government’s Growing Up In The Online World consultation, which floated measures such as an Australia-style social media ban for under-16s, app curfews and limits on addictive features, closes.
