Very pleased that nearly 2 years after the unanimous recommendation of the Education Select Committee I chaired for Govt to consider banning social media for under 16s it is taking steps to do so. It’s taken too long but children will be safer as a result

It is fantastic news that the Government has finally woken up to the dangers of social media for young people. This is an important step in helping parents protect childhood for children. Huge credit goes to @LauraTrottMP and my Shadow Cabinet for relentlessly fighting for this. Conservatives welcome this latest Labour U-turn, and will continue to work for the best implementation of the policy.

Norway is following Sweden’s lead in rethinking screens in primary classrooms after falling reading & numeracy results - more power to them. Screen use for children must be evidence led. Handwriting and books still matter, so we must push back on creeping overuse of screens.

Am I missing something? Where is the Natural History GCSE? Where is the promised focus on nature? We were told to wait for this review and all would be clear, but it looks like it’s been buried, delayed, or quietly dropped yet again. How can a government ignore the natural world so completely? gov.uk/government/news/new-c…

It’s time for a national ban on smartphones in schools

This is not about rolling back progress. It is about restoring the conditions in which children can flourish
