New figures from online safety charity CyberSafeKids show that more than a third of primary school children and two-thirds of secondary school children have no time restrictions on their online activity.
The findings coincide with CyberBreak 2026, which encourages families to switch off smart devices from 7pm today and take a 24-hour break from the online world.
The research also found that many children use devices late into the evening, keep them in their bedrooms overnight, and struggle to switch off. More than half say their parents are also regularly on their devices when spending time together.
Philip Arneill, Head of Communications and Research at CyberSafeKids, joined us on The Agenda this morning to discuss the results and how families can develop a healthier relationship with technology.
