Protecting our children from smartphones - share your experience

On the doorstep in Chelsea and Fulham, the one thing that unites all families is their worry about the impact of social media and smartphones on their children. It also worries children themselves, as I know from talking to primary school pupils. 

As I said in a recent debate on smartphones, I’m encouraged by the work Fulham Boys School which is among the first to take the bold decision to replace smartphones for years 7-11 with basic “brick” phones (for texting and calling only) and congratulate them for this.

There’s much more to do and I’m determined to push for change that will protect our children.
