Many of the risks depend on how technology is being used. We do not support children using social media as they are not at an appropriate age. If you choose to allow your children to access social media or have a phone, please remember it is your responsibility to monitor their activity and help them resolve any issues. Too often the children’s education is being disrupted because of incidents outside of school that either distract the children or require teachers to take time out of lessons to investigate and restore relationships.
