What Netflix’s Adolescence teaches us about Britain’s lost boys

It’s the show that’s got the whole nation talking.

The Netflix drama Adolescence - about a young thirteen year old boy who becomes a murder suspect - has opened up a raft of conversations about what our children are up to online.

Camilla and Kama speak to Michael Conroy, the founder of Men at Work which supports the development of boys and young men, about the problematic role models children see online and what more parents can do.

Later, they ask John Player, the headteacher of a school in Essex, what his pupils learnt from going phone-free for three weeks.
