About This Course

Created by Digital Awareness UK in partnership with the HMC, ‘Tech Control – Break The Habit’ is the second in a three-part series of resources to help promote the healthy and positive use of technology. It highlights how technology can play a positive role in our lives when we take control of how it is used.

The Tech Control resources encourage you to come up with practical solutions to help ensure technology has a productive influence on children’s overall health and well-being. This is achieved through the promotion of digital resilience, critical thinking and digital awareness. 

Digital Awareness UK is an online safety and digital wellbeing agency founded by the @DigitalSisters Emma and Charlotte Robertson.
