Parent Port
Parent Port looks like a great idea - a simple website uniting all the UK's media regulators into one accessible place, removing any confusion as to which body to complain to and presumably speeding up resolving of complaints.
It gives detailed explanations about the purpose of each regulatory body; there's access to the Bailey Review, advice for keeping children safe from explicit material, and Parent Port's 'Have your say' allows your personal issues on inappropriate material, to be heard. I think this is ideal for those specifically concerned with the sexualisation of children through media. This way the Government can more accurately compile the nation's feeling on what big business is doing to kids. Could make a difference - anyone tried it?

"This campaign is way overdue. Pink does stink – it has the reek of Sugababe, Spice Girl and all things nice. It is the colour of the glass ceiling that traps young girls’ aspirations in a perfect pink bubble – pretty, pleasant and politely imprisoning."
