Children, online safety and mobile phones

With more choice than ever and rising concerns about safety, phone ownership can raise important questions for families.

These might be:

• Is my child ready for a phone?
• How do I keep my child safe?
• What’s the right approach for our family?
• Are children and phones a good mix?

Every child is different, and the decision about when to introduce a phone is down to the parents or carers – and should be based on your child’s individual needs, maturity, and circumstances. While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, this guide is here to help you weigh the pros and cons, understand signs of readiness, and set up healthy habits from the start.
