Online Health Taskforce Wants Your Views on the Health of Children & Young People
The Online Health Taskforce is inviting submissions from stakeholders on how to protect the health of children and young people from harm caused by online activity.
The Online Health Taskforce was established by the Minister for Health in September 2024, with Jillian van Turnhout as Chair. The Taskforce was set up because of evidence that some online activity can harm the physical, mental, social, and sexual health of children and young people. Problems include anxiety, lack of sleep, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicide ideation. The job of the Taskforce is to recommend strategic Public Health responses to address these harms.
The Online Health Taskforce wants to hear ideas from all kinds of stakeholders, including not only experts and people who work on these issues, but also young people and parents affected or worried by them.
The Online Health Taskforce wants stakeholders to put forward clear ideas for what can be done.
