Smartphone Free Childhood Movement
As shared at the Welcome to Year Group Parent Meetings, we are here to help all families in making decisions about smartphones. While this is voluntary and parent-led, we are here to support your decision. How you make a pact as a parent group together, could be really powerful and life-changing for your child’s future emotional health.
The Smartphone Free Childhood Movement has been created by parents and aims to:
🗣️ Grow the national conversation about the harms of smartphones for children.
👩🏫 Empower parents and schools to take collective action and create change at a local level.
👊 Put pressure on government and tech companies to help us protect our children.
If you wish to find out more about the Smartphone Free Childhood Movement their webpage can be found here.
