The Safer Phones Bill
Towards the end of last year, the Safer Phones Bill was introduced in parliament. There is a growing body of evidence which shows that smartphones, and social media in particular, are negatively impacting children’s mental health, sleep and learning.
The amount of time these addictive devices and apps take away from real life play and interactions is a major issue for parents, young people, teachers and society. The Bill aims to make smartphones less addictive for children and empower families and teachers to cut down on children’s daily smartphone screen time.
