Work-proof your mobile when spending time with your children - with the new app UNICEF PlayTimer
According to a UNICEF survey, conducted in Sweden in April 2014, over half of all parents, with children between the age of 0-12 years, are checking work emails and receiving job related calls after office hours. Nearly half of all parents also say that being available on their mobiles, decrease the time they otherwise would have spent with their children. According to “The Children’s Rights and Business Principles”, employers have a duty to provide decent working conditions for parents and caregivers. UNICEF Sweden has therefore developed an app, UNICEF PlayTimer, that enables parents to spend quality time with their children, without interruption from work. With the app, the child takes control of the parent’s mobile while spending time together. If the mobile is touched while in locked mode, an alarm is activated. The app is available in App Store in the following languages; Swedish, English, Spanish and French.
