E-safety
We help children and young people to stay safer online by discussing with them the importance of protecting personal information, issues with online content, screen time and building resilience and wellbeing.
But there is another important aspect: the radiofrequency signals emitted from wireless devices and transmitters. Children, young people, parents and schools deserve to be accurately informed, so that they can choose to take simple actions to keep themselves and those they are responsible for safer. You can ask schools to include wireless technologies as part of their e-safety education for pupils and parents.
