A lively debate kicked off proceedings at this year's Children's Media Conference in Sheffield.
The panel was made up up BBC Children's Alice Webb; Ed Vaizey, the Minister for Culture Media and the Digital Economy, Anna Home, chair of the Children's Media Foundation; and Claudio Pollack, group director of Ofcom's content, consumer and external affairs group.
The underlying theme was the future of children's, particularly in a digital age and how the quality of children's broadcasting could be ensured with platforms like YouTube gaining increasing traction.
Pollack said that "the democratisation of production is a benefit but also there is a threat to high quality production."
This gave rise to concerns about online security and creating safe areas for children to go.
