Culture, Media and Sport Committee: Children's tv and video content
Committee hears from witnesses
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is holding an oral evidence session to investigate children's television and video content. This inquiry will examine the quality, safety, and regulation of content consumed by young viewers across traditional TV and digital platforms, including issues around advertising, algorithm recommendations, and child protection.
This affects millions of UK children and their families. The inquiry is likely to influence how broadcasters, streaming platforms, and social media companies manage content for under-18s, with potential implications for legislation around online safety and broadcasting standards. It matters because children's media exposure shapes development and wellbeing, and the regulatory landscape has become fragmented as viewing shifts from broadcast TV to unregulated digital platforms.
