However, as with most innovations, the Government is committed to taking action to ensure the risks of social media, particularly on the mental health of young people.</p><p> </p><p>On 7 February, the United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers published their independent systematic map of evidence on screen and social media use in children and young people. They also published advice for parents and carers, giving tips on how to have a healthy balance with screen time. This is based on evidence around activities that are important for healthy child development such as sleep, exercise and education.</p><p> </p><p>We want the UK to be the safest place to be online. The Government wants to work with internet and social media providers to achieve this, and we are clear we will take tougher action were needed. The Department of Health and Social Care has been working closely alongside colleagues at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on their upcoming Online Harms White Paper. This White Paper will set out a range of legislative and non-legislative measures detailing how the Government will tackle online harms and set clear responsibilities for tech companies to keep UK citizens safe.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 14/02/2019 12:04:46 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
