To propose that the Senedd:
1. Welcomes the UK Government’s forthcoming consultation on access to social media for children under 16, and recognises the need for:
a) ongoing collaboration between the UK and Welsh Governments in tackling these issues and the harm to children and young people;
b) evidence-based decisions that ensure social media is also safer for young people over 16 and adults;
c) social media companies to be held responsible for the harmful content on their sites, with existing legislation enforced and strengthened; and
d) a diverse range of children and young people to be engaged in the debate and their perspectives taken into account
