2026 - First part-session
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 6.1.3 with the following paragraph:

"notwithstanding that the best prevention happens at home, and that therefore the education and role of parents should be considered first, where appropriate adopt legislation to promote harmonious co-existence in schools and prevent bullying; and consider regulating the use of smartphones at school and the introduction of a minimum age for access to social media."

Explanatory note

This amendment reflects FAFCE’s emphasis that effective prevention of online harm

begins at home, where parents are the first educators and protectors of their children.
