She believes Jools died attempting a dangerous online challenge and has since urged the government to take stronger action to protect children from online harms. Speaking at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, where she was awarded an MBE for her work in children’s online safety, Ms Roome expressed frustration that her requests for a meeting with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer have been consistently ignored.
