To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what metrics her Department will use to measure the success of the social media ban for children under 16.
Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)
Government will be monitoring the impact of the ban closely and conduct a full review three to five years after implementation, allowing time for the expected cultural change and long-term impacts on mental and physical health to emerge. The review will consider a range of metrics including regular reporting from children and parents on online experiences and the impact on children’s physical and mental health. Government has committed to reviewing the mobile phones in schools guidance and making any necessary revisions by September 2027.

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, which platforms will be in scope of the social media ban for children under 16.
Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)
The Government has been clear that it will bring forward measures to prevent under-16s from accessing social media services. We intend to use a model similar to Australia, capturing social media services whose purpose is to enable social interaction and which allow users to post material alongside algorithms.
The final scope criteria will be set out in regulations laid before Parliament.
