Petition Under 16 smartphone ban

Ban smartphones being sold to under 16s.

More details

The mental health of our children is imperative. Never have any of our children been exposed to so much pressure emphasised by social media and other technologies. We have banned alcohol, cigarettes and films because they are unsafe for our children and these devices should surely come into the same criteria. The mental health of our children has been deteriorating with proven evidence that these devices have a large part to play.
