Should social media be banned for under-16s? | Mereside Primary | Chris Webb MP for Blackpool South

Last week, I visited Mereside Primary School for a Q&A with their year 6 class and to see their fantastic new PSHE classroom.  The students asked me a variety of questions, but one in particular reflected national news – they wanted to know my stance on the potential social media ban for under-16s, but more importantly, I wanted to hear theirs.  I was open about both the positives and negatives of social media, and how screen time can be good with things like interactive learning, reading stories on a tablet, and video calling family, but excessive passive use is not good for young minds.  It was insightful to hear what they had to say, and I will be taking their views back to Parliament with me.
