Children and young people use social media for a range of reasons. What does the evidence suggest about the potential benefits and risks of this usage, how strong is the evidence, and are there any evidence gaps?

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what guidance she has issued to higher education providers on preventing antisemitic harassment on university campuses.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what guidance she has issued to higher education providers on preventing antisemitic harassment on university campuses.
The government is clear that antisemitic abuse has no place on campuses. The Office for Students’ E6 condition of registration requires university providers to have policies, reporting procedures, support arrangements and preventative measures in place to address harassment.
The department is working closely with higher education (HE) providers and the Union of Jewish Students (UJS) to strengthen support for Jewish students. The department has funded UJS training for university staff to improve understanding of antisemitism and support effective responses to incidents on campus. In addition, a department funded scholarship programme, delivered by Palace Yard and launching nationally this autumn, will develop HE provider staff expertise in tackling antisemitism.
The department will shortly publish new guidance on managing external speakers and events to support providers in assessing and mitigating Prevent-related risks.
HE providers continue to be encouraged to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition as a practical tool for identifying and addressing antisemitic behaviour.

People may lawfully use smart glasses and similar recording technologies in public spaces, in line with rights to freedom of expression as set out in Human Rights law. However, individuals who record other people in public places without their consent to cause alarm or distress or for the purposes of sexual gratification may be guilty of criminal offences such as harassment, stalking or voyeurism. Sharing intimate images on the internet without the consent of the individual is also a criminal offence.
Once images captured on smart glasses are uploaded to the internet, online services are obliged to consider requests from individuals under the UK GDPR to remove them. Platforms also have duties to remove illegal material under the Online Safety Act. We do not wish to prevent law-abiding citizens from using the glasses for private or domestic purposes where this does not pose harm to other people. We will continue to monitor this issue.

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what consideration she has given to the potential merits of restricting or removing monetisation for accounts that repeatedly promote extremist content, harassment, misogyny or misinformation.

Under the Online Safety Act, platforms must tackle hateful online content where it is illegal or harmful to children. They must take steps to ensure their algorithms do not target users with this content. Under new duties to be introduced next year, the largest user-to-user platforms will be required to set out in Terms of Service content prohibited on their services, then apply these Terms consistently.
In Protecting What Matters, the government’s social cohesion strategy, DSIT and DCMS committed to developing options for reducing the inadvertent monetisation of harmful online content. We have engaged with platforms, the ad industry, and civil society on this issue.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what comparative assessment she has made of the levels of cases of abuse and harassment where the victims are cyclists with cases where the victims are (a) drivers and (b) public transport users.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what comparative assessment she has made of the levels of cases of abuse and harassment where the victims are cyclists with cases where the victims are (a) drivers and (b) public transport users.
The ‘Personal Safety on Public Transport’ survey research was published in February 2026.
The findings are based on a survey of 4,900 adults across Great Britain and show the proportion of public transport users who experienced behaviours that undermine personal safety on the transport network. In the 12 months before the survey, 28% of public transport users experienced sexual harassment or unwanted behaviour overall, rising to 54% of females aged 18 to 34. Also 14% of public transport users had experienced force, violence (or threats of), physical intimidation, verbal abuse, and theft (or attempted) and again these experiences were more common for females aged 18-34.
While the Department does not hold data on harassment levels for cyclists and drivers, the research did examine how safe people feel getting to, waiting for and travelling on the transport network. It found that 44% of people felt safe walking and 43% felt safe cycling to public transport stops after dark. This compares with 62% of people who feel safe travelling on a train or 60% by bus after dark.
