"The Jo(e)s"
Jo Phillips and Joe Whitbread: The Jo(e)s
A Lasting Impact
Jo and Joe hold the following values:
We will listen to the kids. Even if it’s a 56 minute conversation about Fortnite.
We will value what the kids tell us. We won’t tell them their experiences aren’t real or valid.
We will speak on behalf of the kids, to adults. We won’t protect adults from the words the kids have given us, and we won’t give adults a pass on their online behaviour or the impact they have on their kids.
We will amplify the voices of kids.
We will talk about social media safety, mental health, and digital responsibility.
