Social Media: Children and Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps her Department is taking to engage with children and young people on social media use in (a) Surrey and (b) Surrey Heath constituency.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
On 2 March, the government launched a landmark consultation on how to give young people the childhood they deserve in an online world. Alongside the formal consultation, we have launched a child and parent-friendly version, ensuring these important voices are properly heard.
As part of the National Conversation running alongside the consultation, we will be hosting events across the UK to hear directly from young people. Families, young people, and communities from all over the UK, including in Surrey and the Surrey Heath constituency, are encouraged to discuss this vital topic in community events, MP-led local conversations, and engagement through schools and civil society organisations.
