Did you know that children in the UK aged 8–14 now spend an average of nearly 3 hours online every day, rising to around 4 hours a day for 13–14 year olds?!

That’s why we’re hosting “Left to Their Own Devices” next week. It's a practical workshop to help parents and carers think wisely about both the opportunities and challenges of the online world - including things like phones, social media, gaming, screen time and online safety.

Whether you feel confident, concerned, or just want help navigating it all as a family, this evening is for you.
