Ofsted boss surprised by under-11s with smartphones
By Hazel ShearingEducation correspondent
Ofsted's Chief Inspector says she is " surprised" when primary school children have smartphones.
Amanda Spielman Said she was " not comfortable" with younger children having unlimited Internet Access .
She was being interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live about influencer Andrew Tate , who has been detained as part of an investigation into allegations of Human Trafficking and Rape - which he denies.
Schools have been trying to tackle his influence.
Mr Tate, a former kickboxer, has millions of online followers - despite being banned from sites including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube for misogynistic comments.
During a discussion about access to porn and Adult Content , Ms Spielman - The Head of England's schools Watchdog - Said there was a " great deal" that could be done to " really limit" The content to which young children are exposed.
" The First thing you can do is not give a child a smartphone when they're too young, " She Said .
" I'm very surprised when primary aged children have smartphones, for example, and even in early Secondary School . It's really hard to manage that. "
Asked whether she thought no child under The Age Of 11 should be given smartphones, She Said : " I'm not comfortable with younger children having unlimited Internet Access . "
But it is " not possible to totally control and contain adolescents' lives" she added - and it is The Job of schools, parents and society to make sure that children " can steer past all of these undesirable influences".
Mr Tate is being detained in Romania, alongside his brother Tristan. They both deny allegations of Human Trafficking and Rape .
Last week, some schools told The Bbc they were as part of a concerted attempt to tackle his influence.
Ms Spielman Said she first came across Mr Tate " a month or two before Christmas".
She Said it was " important not to get into total moral panic" about him, and that children should be exposed to a " range of male role models" through The curriculum.
Asked whether there should be compulsory lessons on misogyny in schools, Ms Spielman Said that promoting " respectful relationships" was already something that schools took seriously.
