Results & Impact
Each week hundreds of thousands of young people vote on our latest lesson. Here's what they say, and how their voices are changing the world.
19th - 26th April 2024
For this VoteTopic, voters explored the possibility of specially-designed phones for teenagers to help improve their online safety. Throughout the wide-ranging conversations about this topic, the insights of children & young people have been largely unrepresented. That’s why this week, we are keen to hear their thoughts and opinions on smartphone usage and what the digital landscape might look like for them in the future.
16+ & College voters were asked: “Is it a good idea to have an under-16s phone?”, while Secondary voters explored: ”Would you feel safer with an under-16s phone?”, Primary 7-11 voters discussed: “Would you prefer to use an under-16s phone?” and Primary 5-7 voters considered: “Do you have too much screen time?”
57,263 young people in the UK have taken part in this vote.
