Education Committee: Screen Time and Social Media

Committee hears from witnesses

The Education Committee is conducting oral evidence sessions to investigate the effects of screen time and social media on young people. This inquiry will examine how digital devices and social platforms impact children's wellbeing, development, and educational outcomes, and will likely explore what regulatory or policy measures should be considered.

Screen time and social media use among children is a significant public health and education concern affecting millions of young people across the UK. The findings will inform potential government policy on digital safety, education standards, and child welfare, with implications for parents, schools, tech companies, and health services.
