Book a talk for parents in your school

We’ve teamed up with the brilliant team at Papaya to bring their expert-led talks to more families across the UK. These sessions spark vital conversations, build confidence, and help communities take the first steps towards healthier screen habits — together.

Papaya are our official talks partner

We know how powerful in-person talks can be. When a speaker walks into a room and opens up the conversation — especially with parents who’ve been unsure or unengaged — something shifts.

Every day, we hear from families asking for help to get their school community on board. That’s why we’ve partnered with Papaya: they deliver expert, engaging, and truly impactful talks that help families rethink their relationship with smartphones.

Expert speakers, across the UK

Led by Dr Susie Davies, one of the UK’s leading voices on parenting in the digital age, Papaya has built a brilliant network of trained speakers delivering talks in schools and communities across the country.

Not in a region they cover yet? No problem — Papaya also offers high-quality online talks, so you can still bring this important conversation to your parent community, wherever you are.

Workshops for KS2 students

As well as parent talks, Papaya also runs interactive workshops for upper primary students (KS2), helping children build awareness, confidence, and healthier screen habits before the smartphone pressure kicks in.

These sessions are currently available in select areas — and more areas are coming soon. If you’re interested in a session for students at yours, register your interest via their website.

The best thing about being a regional leader is finding other motivated parents in your area and working towards a common goal. I wouldn’t have been able to make half the impact without my team of local parents and other regional leaders.
