Answer
The Government is continuing to explore how the evidence base on the impact of social media on children can be improved.
This is why in December 2024, DSIT commissioned a feasibility study on methods and data to understand the impact of smartphones and social media on children.
The Government is currently considering the findings of the feasibility study and will publish the results in due course.
