Tech Shock - from Parent Zone
1. Time for a change? Talking Child Financial Harms with Adam Groves
The Tech Shock podcast hits double digits as it returns for its 10th season. As always, Vicki will be joined this season by a whole host of expert guests to talk all things tech, as well as taking a deep dive into new research by Parent Zone.
Expect fascinating discussions around AI-generated sexual harassment in schools; ‘good enough’ parenting; violence against women and girls; and some current pros and pitfalls of the Online Safety Act.
In this episode Nominet’s social impact lead, Adam Groves, joins Vicki to kick off season 10. They’ll be exploring Parent Zone's new report on parental attitudes to the wide-reaching (but enormously overlooked) issue of ‘child financial harms’.
Talking points:
- Once we properly appreciate harm through a financial lens, are current systems and responses failing?
- Why (and to what extent) does parents’ understanding of these harms differ from what children actually experience?
- If all manner of digital environments and design choices can facilitate child financial harms, how can we begin doing better?
