Digital Wellbeing at Home: Practical Tools and Smarter Systems for Parents and Grandparents
Parents and grandparents are trying to help manage screen time, social media, gaming, AI, harmful content and constant device use - often while the technology is changing faster than most of us can keep up.
This practical webinar will look at what is happening right now in the online world and what parents and grandparents can put in place to make home internet use safer and easier to manage.
We’ll talk about current issues such as the proposed under-16 social media ban, how AI is changing the online landscape for young people, the impact of too much time online, and why device use is becoming such a big conversation for families and schools.
This will be a relaxed, interview-style conversation rather than a formal presentation. We’ll use live polls and questions from the group to guide the discussion, so the session focuses on what you are most interested in.

This is not a fear-based session or a parenting lecture. It is a practical conversation about what parents and grandparents can put in place to make online life safer, calmer and easier to manage at home.
