Rosanna Davison calls for schools to educate children on dangers of social media
The former Miss World and mother-of-three said the curriculum should be changed to help protect kids from online dangers, including cyberbullying
Former Miss World Rosanna Davison has said she thinks kids should be educated in school about the dangers of the internet and social media.
The mother-of-three said the curriculum needs to be changed to help protect children from online dangers, including cyberbullying.
She told us: “I often think I’m grateful to have grown up in the '90s. It was a simpler time. Nothing was recorded. We had an outdoorsy childhood.”

Rosanna said she worries for the safety of her own children, Oscar, Hugo and Sophia.
“I do worry about my own children and social world and growing up – because of the pressure.
“I think maybe school curriculum should include some kind of preparation or education for the world of social media because it’s such a part of life. The effect social media can have on your relationships, your everyday health.”
Rosanna said her first daughter Sophia is turning out to be a performer in their home.
“Sophia is a little bit of a performer. She loves dancing.”
But she said she won’t pressure her children to follow in her footsteps.
“I feel they might like careers that haven’t even been invented yet.”
