Vicky Fobel is a solicitor and a parent of two young children. Two years ago when researching the health risks of wireless products in the home, she was surprised to discover uncertainty surrounding their safety and the extent of evidence of harm.

She co-founded WiredChild to raise awareness of the extent of evidence that wireless products may have harmful health effects for children. She feels passionately that a better balance between technical benefits and safety is urgently needed.
