We call for the National
Assembly of Wales to urge the Welsh Government to adopt a more stringent limit
on the use of wireless devices in nurseries and primary schools.
Established health risks
must be known to parents/carers.
Parents/carers consent
must be ensured in advance before WiFi devices are installed/used.
The percentage results
must be transparent to all parents/carers and those with a duty of care.
Additional Information:
Those who decided against WiFi must be provided
with a No WiFi zone.
If results show No consent and the school already
has WiFi and multiple wireless devices, they must be WiFi/Bluetooth deactivated
and educational applications must be pre-programmed onto computers/tablets etc.
The WHO (World Health Organisation) along
