Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2025
Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
These amendments work together: the early years campaign and guidance create the foundation for healthy childhoods; the social media age verification prevents the most harmful platforms exploiting vulnerable adolescents; and the school’s smartphone ban provides the daily structure necessary for academic success and social development. Together, they would shift the social norms around the healthy use of technology by children and by society more broadly. We owe our children nothing less than to act, and to act now.
