In a recent survey, 75% of parents with children aged 11-16 expressed concerns over their children's internet use, particularly regarding content viewed in their bedrooms. The survey indicates that smartphones are commonly used devices, fueling parental anxiety about online exposure. Parent confidence in situational awareness remains low, with 87% unsure of the content their children encounter. This reflects a growing need for discussions about digital safety and the implications of technology on youth, revealed through studies like Ipsos' recent findings. The article underscores the importance of journalism in discussing such pivotal societal issues.
Three quarters of the parents questioned said they are concerned about what their children are seeing, hearing or doing online, and 87% said they are not confident they know what content they are viewing.
The Independent believes quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
