Alex Cooney, CEO and Co-founder of Cybersafe Kids, discusses Safer Internet Day and the number of children allowed phones in bedrooms.

A new survey has found that 82% of young children are allowed to use smart devices unsupervised in their bedrooms and almost half believe they spend too much time online.Alex Cooney, chief executive of CyberSafeKids, joins The Last Word to discuss these findings and how children's uncontrolled access to devices can put them at risk.

Alex Cooney, CEO of CyberSafeKids, speaks to Wendy about how parents need to constantly stay vigilant and cannot get complacent about online security and monitoring what their children might be seeing online.

Research commissioned by eir shows that children in Ireland are accessing their first mobile phones at the average age of nine, more than three years earlier than parents' preferred age of between 12 and 13 years. The study, which surveyed 522 parents across the country, also found that 42% of parents provide their children with a phone earlier than they would like, largely due to safety concerns. Despite this, over a third of parents reported being unsure of how to access the built-in parental controls to help monitor and manage their children's online activity. In response to this, eir has launched its Smart Start programme, a free in-store initiative designed to help parents set up parental controls, manage smartphone features and access alternative solutions tailored to their family's needs. Following a successful four-week pilot in December, the programme is now rolling out across 10 eir stores in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, and Offaly include the eir store in The Bridge Shopping Centre, Tullamore Starting from Monday 20th January, parents and guardians can attend drop-in sessions which will take place from 10:30 am -11:30 am Monday - Saturday, at participating eir stores, where trained staff will be on hand to provide support and advice. To ensure the advice is both robust and practical, eir consulted with CyberSafeKids, who endorsed the programme and provided expert input to train eir staff on best practices for helping parents safeguard their children's smartphone use. The research highlighted a discrepancy between parents' confidence in managing their children's smartphone use and the reality of children's online behaviour. While 71% of parents believe their child can self-manage online activity and 80% think their child would share negative experiences, findings from CyberSafeKids Left To Their Own Devices report, suggest a more complex reality. According to their report 77% of 8-12-year-olds say their parents cannot see what they are doing online, and 55% did not tell a parent when they encountered harmful content. This difference in perspective highlights the value of the Smart Start programme, which offers practical tools, tailored guidance, and alternative solutions to help them navigate the complexities of their children's digital lives. Alex Cooney, CEO of CyberSafeKids, highlighted the importance of such initiatives: "We know parents are aware of the risks? that accompany smartphone use, but?often?lack the support they need to mitigate these effectively. We're?delighted to have contributed to the development of the Smart Start programme, ensuring parents receive practical guidance?at the point of purchase to help their children navigate the online world safely. Programmes such as this?, which empower parents?in the digital age?a?re hugely welcome." In addition to assisting parents with smartphone set-up, the programme offers smart alternatives, like child-friendly smartwatches and broadband modem control features, allowing families to stay connected while giving parents greater oversight. Susan Brady, Managing Director of eir Consumer and Small Business, commented on the initiative: "At eir, we understand the difficult balancing act parents face when it comes to giving their child a smartphone. As parents ourselves, we know how important it is to stay connected with our children, and our research reflects that same concern. But we also understand that the challenges of managing mobile devices can feel overwhelming, and parents need support in navigating these risks. That's why we've created Smart Start - to provide practical tools and personalised guidance that help families make the right choices for their unique needs." Brady added: "We know that while many helpful resources are available, parents are already managing so much in their day-to-day lives. Through Smart Start, we're committed to being there for parents every step of the way, offering practical support that makes the process easier and hel...

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words http://tinyurl.com/2bfwesz4 Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com "25% of primary school students have been cyber bullied" - survey. "Cibearbhulaíocht déanta ar 25 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí bunscoile" - suirbhé. Over 25% of primary school pupils and 40% of secondary school pupils have been cyber bullied, according to a survey carried out by the online safety charity CyberSafeKids. Tá cibearbhulaíocht déanta ar os cionn 25 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí bunscoile agus ar 40 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí scoile dara leibhéal, de réir suirbhé atá déanta ag an gcarthanas sábháilteachta ar líne CyberSafeKids. Some of the children the charity spoke to said, for example, that pictures of them had been published online without permission, fake profiles had been created and they had been kept out of chat groups. Dúirt roinnt de na páistí ar labhair an carthanas leo, cuir i gcás, gur foilsíodh pictiúir díobh ar líne gan chead, gur cruthaíodh próifílí bréige díobh agus gur coinníodh amach as grúpaí comhrá iad. According to the research, this type of bullying is mostly done to girls, rather than boys. Is ar chailíní is mó, seachas buachaillí, a dhéantar an cineál seo bulaíochta, de réir an taighde. 50% of primary school pupils let an adult – a parent or teacher – know, compared to 39% of second level pupils. Lig 50 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí bunscoile an scéal le duine fásta – tuismitheoir nó múinteoir – le hais 39 faoin gcéad de dhaltaí dara leibhéal. Between a quarter and a third of children, they did not let anyone know, however. Níor lig idir an ceathrú cuid agus an tríú cuid de leanaí, níor lig siad an scéal do dhuine ar bith, ámh. About 5,000 young people between the ages of eight and sixteen were asked between September 2022 and June 2023 about the opinion of the research. Ceistíodh thart ar 5,000 duine óg idir ocht mbliana d'aois agus sé bliana déag idir Mheán Fómhair 2022 agus Mheitheamh 2023 faoi thuairim an taighde. It shows that 93% of children between the ages of eight and twelve have their own smart device and that the most popular apps are YouTube, WhatsApp, TikTok, and Snapchat. Léirítear ann go bhfuil a ngléas cliste féin ag 93 faoin gcéad de leanaí idir ocht mbliana agus dhá bhliain déag agus gurb iad YouTube, WhatsApp, TikTok, agus Snapchat na haipeanna is mó a bhfuil tóir acu orthu. It is reported that online gaming is also very popular with young people and that 15% of them play games for adults, such as Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil an-tóir ag na daoine óga ar chluichíocht ar líne freisin agus go n- imríonn 15 faoin gcéad acu cluichí le haghaidh daoine fásta, leithéidí Call of Duty agus Grand Theft Auto. These games are mostly played by boys but it is more common for young girls to post videos of themselves online. Buachaillí is mó a imríonn na cluichí seo ach is coitianta ag cailíní óga físeáin díobh féin a phostáil ar líne. Almost 75% of children between the ages of twelve and sixteen said they can go online whenever they want. Dúirt beagnach 75 faoin gcéad de pháistí idir dhá bhliain déag agus sé bliana déag gur féidir leo dul ar líne aon uair is mian leo. Speaking on RTÉ, Alex Cooney from CyberSafeKids claimed that social media companies are not doing half enough to protect young people (from cyberbullying and hateful content). Ag labhairt di ar RTÉ, mhaígh Alex Cooney ó CyberSafeKids nach bhfuil comhlachtaí meán sóisialta ag déanamh leath a ndóthain le daoine óga a chosaint (ar chibearbhuaíocht agus ar ábhar gránna). She also indicated that she would be keeping an eye on the approach taken by the Online Safety Commissioner towards these companies. Thug sí le fios freisin go mbeadh sí ag conneáil súil ar an gcur chuige a bheas ag an gCoimisinéir Sábháilteachta ar Líne i leith na gcomhlachtaí sin. In response to this, Minister of State Ossian Smyth suggested that the resources now existed...

He is joined by UCD's director of digital policy (and former Irish Council for Civil Liberties representative) Elizabeth Farries and Alex Cooney the CEO of CyberSafeKids Ireland. The whole thing raises some big questions. What is the moral difference between scanning a phone and a private online account for child abuse imagery?

Finally, the three touch on the issue of e-voting and whether it may be time for Ireland to think again about what was a disastrous introduction of the technology here 15 years ago.
