Motion: Tackling the Impact of Online Harms on Young People

Proposed:

That this Assembly expresses grave concern about the impact of social media and smartphones on young people; recognises that tackling online harms will require genuine cross-departmental working; calls on the Minister of Education to ban smartphones in schools, integrate online safety into the curriculum, provide additional training for teachers on online safety, increase the provision of counselling services in schools and reform Relationships and Sex Education to help tackle drivers of online abuse; and further calls on the Minister of Justice to ensure that funding for the PSNI’s child internet protection team is adequately prioritised as part of any increase in the police workforce.
