Government should hold inquiry into pupils’ access to ‘dangerous’ online content

The Government should hold an inquiry into “dangerous” content which young people are able to access on their smartphones, the leader of the largest education union in the UK has said.

Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU), warned of a “real problem” with sexism and misogyny in schools which has been fuelled by exposure to harmful content online.

Mr Kebede called on the Government to “take on” big technology companies as he said the problem is “too widespread” to be left to schools
