Following the pilot launch of the Family Smart Start project, developed in partnership with the Family Online Safety Institute, we are now inviting schools across the UK to take part in the next phase of this initiative.

Schools are uniquely positioned to play a vital role in shaping safe, positive digital habits from the outset, with 9 in 10 children in the UK owning a smartphone by the age of 11. Given this important role, we would like schools to get involved by helping to distribute Family Smart Start boxes to selected families.

Each box includes:

📌Clear, step-by-step smartphone setup guides

📌Practical advice for parents on Good Digital Parenting

📌Tools to spark meaningful family conversations about online safety

If your school is interested in joining the pilot or would like more information, please visit our website. ⏬
