Questions from the Department for Education:

Technology: healthy use
• What impacts does social media use and screen time have on brain development, behaviour (including engagement in other activity), attainment, and health? How does this vary for different groups (including by age) and for different types of use?
Department for Education, 2025
Workforce: development
What can we learn from other parts of the public sector, other sectors, and other programmes (e.g. NHS, parenting programmes) about professional training to develop knowledge and skills (e.g. about child development, on behaviour management, on how to improve leadership skills, how to improve workforce wellbeing, and how to use evidence)?

Workforce: development
• What development opportunities are available for our workforces, how well do they meet our needs, and how attractive and accessible are they? Given the importance of professional development to retention, what are the best ways to ensure there are sufficient attractive and accessible development opportunities which engage the right people?
