Aim: This webinar examines the importance of supervision and monitoring when under 5s are using devices. It outlines the forms that monitoring and supervising might take, both in nursery settings and in the home, and offers practical guidance on how to achieve it. 

Rationale: Ofcom’s recently published Media Use and Attitudes report found that one in five (20%) of UK children under the age of 5 have their own mobile phone, while 87% of all 3- to 4-year-olds went online at some point during the past year. Digital device usage may not be a topic often considered in relation to early years settings, but these figures illustrate that it is imperative to understand how to supervise such young children’s use of technology to mitigate the risk of harm.
