always interesting information.....

Mobile phones can help young people stay connected, access information and communicate with family. However, concerns around classroom distractions, excessive screen time, cyberbullying and harmful online content have prompted tighter restrictions.

Our latest guide explores:
• Mental health and wellbeing
• Learning, attention and concentration
• Harmful content and online bullying
• Excessive screen time
• New expectations around phone-free schools
• Reasonable adjustments for pupils with additional needs

The guide also offers practical advice for parents and educators on delaying smartphone and social media access, supporting school policies and encouraging more screen-free activities.

helping to keep children and families safe online.....

AI companions are becoming increasingly popular with young people, offering conversations with virtual characters designed to feel like genuine friends.

Platforms such as Character.AI, Replika and Snapchat My AI can provide entertainment and creativity, but their human-like interactions can also create important risks.

Our latest guide explores:
• Emotional dependency
• Harmful or unreliable mental health advice
• Oversharing personal information
• Inappropriate or explicit content
• Distorted expectations around real-world relationships
• Subscription and in-app spending pressures

The guide also offers practical advice on discussing AI friendships, checking privacy settings and age limits, encouraging offline relationships and reminding young people where to seek genuine support.
