📱 Have Your Say on Digital Wellbeing

The Scottish Government is inviting children and young people, as well as parents and carers, to share their experiences of using smartphones, social media and the internet.

The surveys explore how children and young people use screens, apps and social media, the impact these may have on wellbeing, and how confident young people feel about staying safe online. Parents and carers are also being asked about their own screen use, how confident they feel supporting their children's digital lives, and what resources would help them.

The findings will help inform future Scottish Government policy aimed at reducing online harms.
