Select Committee Statement on the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee’s inquiry on neuroscience and digital childhoods

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee is presenting findings from its inquiry into how neuroscience research relates to children's digital technology use and development. The statement will discuss the impacts of screen time and digital platforms on child brain development, and likely recommend policy or practice changes to protect children's wellbeing in the digital age.

This inquiry addresses a growing public concern about children's mental health and development in an increasingly digital world. The findings could influence government policy on child safeguarding, education standards, and regulation of digital platforms—affecting parents, schools, tech companies, and health services across the UK.
