Legal expertise across safety research and age-assurance review

Emma Day

Emma Day is a named author of the December 2024 DFC guiding-principles report on technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse. A separate euCONSENT update names her, with Sabine Witting of Tech Legality, as an intended leader of an AgeAware human-rights review.

The two assignments

The DFC report credits Day on its cover. The January 2025 euCONSENT project account describes the intended review leadership for AgeAware. It does not supply a personal contract, completed review or approval terms. These records support authorship of one published report and a named prospective role in another project; they do not assign Day any particular encryption recommendation or give her control of either institution.

From the investigation

What the cited report supports

The footnote29 URL points to the 61-page December2024 report Guiding principles for addressing technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse , by Anri van der Spuy, Sabine Witting, Patrick Burton, Emma Day, Sonia Livingstone and Kim R. Sylwander. The report cover and p61 citation identify a Digital Futures for Children centre publication; the LSE repository calls it a technical report. The toolkit citation instead includes Security and Safety, vol.4 . That is a bibliographic discrepancy, not yet proof of an incorrectly linked document.
