To ensure your concerns are represented in Parliament and to discuss how we can better support families, schools and clinicians, Gregory Stafford MP has convened a local panel event to explore how public policy can help tackle the growing challenge of smartphone dependency among young people.
Increasing evidence shows that smartphone use among children and young people poses serious risks to their mental and physical health. Children using smartphones for five or more hours a day were found to be 71% more likely to display at least one risk factor associated with suicide.
Panellists include:
- Gregory Stafford MP, Member of Parliament for Farnham and Bordon
- Alex Rennie, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire
- Dr Louise Milne, Consultant Paediatrician
- Sarah Oliver, Headteacher, Rowledge CofE Primary School
- Nancy Stuart-Bruges, Regional Co-ordinator, Smartphone Free Childhood
