ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Everyone seems to be asking how to get young people off their phones.
What if we're asking the wrong question?
In this episode, we speak to Anne Morris, Founder and CEO of Yipiyap and Peerscroller, about a different approach to digital safeguarding.
If young people are already consuming short-form content every day, shouldn't safeguarding meet them where they are?
Rather than competing with social media, could we use its strengths to deliver trusted, peer-led content that starts the conversations we all need to have?
Together, we explore:
Why banning phones alone won't solve the problem
The safeguarding topics young people are actively engaging with
How schools can identify emerging risks before disclosures happen
Whether social media could become part of the safeguarding solution
It's a conversation that challenges one of education's biggest assumptions: maybe the issue isn't the phone... it's what's on it.
