  • ATC - Kids speak out about mobile phones          document PDF Document (98 KB)
    04 Apr 2009
    We asked more than 1,500 children and young people in Years 6 and 9 about how mobile phones fit into their lives.

In 2007, the NSW Commission for Children and Young People with the University of Sydney and the University of Technology Sydney, surveyed and spoke with more than 1,500 children and young people in Years 6 and 9 across NSW to learn more about how mobile phones fit into their lives.

We wanted to understand the impact mobiles have on children and young people's relationships, consumer habits and the importance of mobile ownership in their lives.

We found that mobile phones support kids by helping them to be independent. Mobiles also help kids organise their daily lives, support their relationships including family relationships when parents are separated, provide entertainment, and help them feel safer.
