Recommendation 20
20
Convene cross-sector tech abuse working group to produce guidance and code of practice
Conclusion
We want to see words from cross-sector stakeholders on tech abuse now leading to positive actions. The Office for Product Safety and Standards should, at the earliest opportunity, convene a “tech abuse working group” with stakeholders, bringing industry together with researchers, specialist support services and public services. This group should be more than just a talking shop, and draw on research to produce guidance and a code of practice that establishes best practice for manufacturers, vendors and law enforcement. The working group should report publicly through the OPSS on its progress at regular intervals. (Paragraph 138) 70 Connected tech: smart or sinister?
