The government will consult on whether social media should be banned for under-16s in the UK.

It said “immediate action” would give Ofsted the power to check policies on phone use when it inspects schools, and it expected schools to be “phone-free by default” as a result of the announcement.

A similar ban took effect in Australia in December 2025, the first of its kind in the world. Other countries are said to be considering such a law.

According to The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology, the consultation will “seek views from parents, young people and civil society” to determine the effectiveness of a ban.

It would also look at whether more robust age checks could be implemented by social media firms, which could be forced to remove or limit features “which drive compulsive use of social media”.

And Ofsted will give tougher guidance to schools to reduce phone use – including telling staff not to use their devices for personal reasons in front of pupils. The government will respond to the consultation in the summer.

Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said the laws in the Online Safety Act were “never meant to be the end point” and said she understood “parents still have serious concerns”.

“We are determined to ensure technology enriches children’s lives, not harms them – and to give every child the childhood they deserve,” she said.
