Study reveals the UK's 'under-age' social networking generation
Younger children are increasingly setting up their own pages on social networking sites such as Facebook, finds a new study published today (Monday 18 April).
The report, Social Networking, Age and Privacy, reveals that one in three of 9-12-year-olds in the UK has a profile on Facebook, even though the network sets a minimum age of 13 to join. In total, 43 per cent of this age group in Britain has a profile on at least one social networking site, rising to 88 per cent among 13-16-year-olds.

Assets that can't be bought
Our life doesn't have to be about going from one drop-in centre to another," says Bee Harries, a patient at the South London and Maudsley NHS foundation trust (SLaM). Her care support comes in the form of a personal budget, and she uses some of it to pay for her care worker to come on a year-long pottery course with her. This makes Harries something of a model user of the flexibilities envisaged by proponents of personalised services. But the care package she arranged for herself goes some way beyond the latest thinking on personalised public services: she doesn't just accept services - she delivers them.
