Education Committee: Reading for Pleasure

Committee hears from witnesses

The Education Committee will take oral evidence on the effects of screen time and social media on children and young people. The hearing will examine how excessive digital device use and social media exposure affect learning, mental health, and development, and what policy or regulatory responses might be needed.

Screen time and social media use among children is a growing public health and educational concern affecting millions of young people across the country. The committee's findings will likely inform future government policy on digital safety, online regulation, and school guidance on technology use.
