Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 May 2025

Debate

Young People’s Media Literacy

Contribution

I thank my noble friend for that response. Perhaps she is aware of the recent research, published by the National Education Union, which adds to the volume of material demonstrating that significant harm is experienced by young people from social media and from being online in general. Does she agree with me that the current curriculum review must address the need for greater access to all the arts, providing much better activities for children and young people to engage in, but that it must also weave through the school experience the skills and knowledge to deal effectively and, as she says, critically, with the online world, and that this will need resourcing?
