CHILDREN'S SCREEN USE

Motion Text

That this House notes the British Psychological Society's published guidance on Children, adolescents and screen use earlier this month; acknowledges much of the evidence for the negative effects of screen use in children and teenagers is not based on robust enough science; further notes the misunderstanding around appropriate screen use for children and young people; and calls on the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to develop an evidence based framework for helping children and families gain the most from the digital world.
