Allowing children smartphones on school buses exposes them to a range of safeguarding risks, including harmful content on another child's smartphone.
Every child is only as safe as the least safe device.
Parents often say their children need a smartphone to get on the bus but generally it's only the QR code they need, which can be downloaded and printed-off.
We recommend having a conversation with your bus provider to clarify their ticketing requirements - often parents think an app is required, which is rarely the case.
One major bus provider we have spoken to confirmed that discounted season tickets can be purchased through their app on any device and fulfilled with a smart card which they will provide via post.
