Who`s Watching the Classroom? Smart Glasses, Phones and Protecting Children: The Late Show with Tim Smale

Tim Smale is joined by Guy Holder, Head of PSHE for a frank conversation about the technology arriving in children's lives faster than schools can keep up. Camera-equipped smart glasses are on sale on the high street, and Guy is campaigning to have them banned. Tim and Guy ask what these glasses mean for consent, for safeguarding and for anyone who could be filmed in a classroom without knowing it. They also get into phone pouches versus brick-phone-only schools, whether 16 should be the minimum age for smartphones, social media and AI, and what teachers can do when Big Tech feels too big to challenge.
