As a network we are aiming to scope out a focus to develop a research-informed approach/ standpoint as a service on the risks and benefits of a digital world.

Here are a few recent articles that have been discussed by the EWB network:

• Neuro-behavioural links from infant screen time to anxiety
• Electronic Screen Use and Children’s Socioemotional Problems:
  A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Longitudinal Studies

Recent research co-produced with YP from 4 locations (including Dundee and Shetland) provides an insight into growing up with digital technology : ‘I love it, but I hate it’ – Young people’s experiences and expectations of growing up digital – Nuffield Foundation

Reflective questions: 

• • • What are the obstacles or challenges affecting CYP?

• • • Do these concerns change depending on age/stage of CYP?

• • • Do we as EPs have all the evidence-based information we need to advise staff, parents/carers on these challenges?  

• • • Which other agencies could we collaborate with? Any specific resources?    

• • • Are there gaps in our knowledge/skillsets? 

• • • What can we do now and in the longer term?
