I thought this was settled a long time ago, but apparently I've got to go and meet with a few school parents to discuss their concerns as they believe wireless equipment in a building is causing their children long term health issues.

I'm a tech, not a doctor. I don't suppose anyone has had similar conversations and used any material used? I've got information from the WHO, but that's pretty much a "it probably won't cause cancer, but there's a small chance it might, we're not sure".

Anyone had similar chats and can advise?

I completely agree that I'm in no way qualified to have this conversation. Both the head and a governer have already had meetings, but the parent is insistent on (in his words) "wanting to know what the school are doing to protect his children from wifi signals"

Ultimately, I'm going there as a favour - the school are one of our customers, and I do IT advisory/project work for them, of which installing wifi (years and years ago) was something I oversaw for them, hence it kinda coming back to me.

Just to put this one to bed, despite the overwhelming advice not to go, I still went through with it.

TBH, I expected some opinionated, old, cranky bloke with extreme views. In fact, it was just some bloke who wanted the best for his kids. He admitted he didn't care about his exposure, but he'd read (and watched) some YT video's and he was just concerned for his kids health and future. I've got alot of respect for that.

This is what he wanted to show, but ironically, the wireless and 4G was too poor in the meeting room to get a signal biggrin

So yeah, not as bad as I thought.
