My childrens school (a primary) is building a new building and planning to put WiFi in throughout. The school is in central London. I will share the information on this site with them in an attempt to stop this plan but having spoken with a few parents another consensus is that if you open up your laptop anywhere around there you are surrounded by wireless networks so from a practical perspective their argument is - the exposure is there anyway so unfortunate as it is you may as well take advantage of the flexibility (and cost savings vs cabling) wifi gives you. I can certainly argue that installing WiFi will add to the load, but against this is that with cabling you are then fixing the layout and restricting yourselves and how much more will that load be. I am not sure how to strongly argue against this.
Thank you

Sorry about the delay - my fairly detailed reply got lost somewhere. I now have to dash away this week, but we have now uploaded some extra useful ingformation on to the WiFi pages - please re-visit and download the new attached file. Thanks.

Many of the concerns were summarised in a Memorandum on WiFi signed by eight members of the Health Protection Agency's EMF Discussion Group and sent to the HPA at the end of 2007 following the announcement of research, costing about £300,000 of public money, which does not address any of the health concerns. The HPA have chosen not to respond to this Memorandum, so on 25 April 2008 a copy has been posted here for members of the public to read.
