Culture secretary condemns unsupervised access to smartphones and urges more heads to ban them in schools
The culture secretary has said it is up to parents to set boundaries around their children's use of the internet and has condemned unlimited and unsupervised access to smartphones.
Matt Hancock, whose brief includes digital issues, agreed parenting in the digital era was difficult but he said it was not impossible and he urged parents to set boundaries around new technology in the same way they have always set boundaries for their children.
