Barnardos is organising a free webinar on digital wellbeing and screen time for parents – and professionals working with children – for March 30.

The charity’s online safety programme has found Irish children ‘plugged in but switched off’, with 68% of Barnardos project workers reporting that screen time and addiction to video games are proving big lockdown challenges for parents.
