Screen use by children aged 5 to 16

This call for evidence invites research on screen use among children aged 5 to 16.

It aims to gather robust evidence on impacts across health, development, wellbeing, behaviour and learning, including differences by:

• age
• usage patterns
• types of activity

Findings will inform new government guidance for parents and shape future policy on screen use in schools. It will also help us to support effective, safe and beneficial use of digital technology by children and young people.
