The Tech Shock podcast – smartphone bans: what are young people saying?
“Is this how we want young people to be growing up [...] or do we want something better?”
As part of a Tech Shock special, we’re continuing to explore the possible impact of a smartphone ban for under-16s. Last time, we heard from parents what a ban might mean for their family.
In this episode, focus turns to hearing from young people themselves, and Vicki is joined by Anna Lindsay from youth content platform VoiceBox. They share and discuss some of the contributions from VoiceBox’s youth ambassadors.
