Description:
Introduced in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2022 and now used widely, the term ‘Sharenting’, a portmanteau of ‘parenting’ and ‘sharing’, refers to the practice where caregivers share content of children under their care on social media. However, despite the likely positive intentions of the adults, the practice carries with it risks and concerns about children's privacy, informed consent, and the potential long-term consequences of having their lives publicly documented online from a young age. Do the risks outweigh the benefits of sharing? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Fouzi Singon, Secretary-General of the National Union of the Teaching Profession.
