Children’s commissioner: ‘I’d ban phones in bedrooms’

Children’s commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza is calling for parents to get more help to keep their children safe online.

Speaking to Ayshah Tull on 5 Live Breakfast, she said if there was one thing she wanted to ban, it would be “phones in bedrooms”.

She said she was shocked by the final scene in the hit show ‘Adolescence’ on Netflix.

“At the end when dad goes into his son’s bedroom and its kitted out like a tech firm.

“We must not be having that sort of kit in children’s bedrooms and leaving them to have free rein on that all night,” she said.
