Media habits (children)

We’ve published a range of new research shining a light on different aspects of the online lives of children in the UK.

The Children's Passive Online Measurement study explores the websites and apps visited by UK children aged 8-14 and how long was spent on the services visited.

Our research includes findings relating to parents’ views about their children’s media use, and the ways that parents seek to – or decide not to – monitor or limit use of different types of media.

A research project which follows 21 children, aged 8-18 since 2014, interviewing them on camera each year about their media habits and attitudes.

Our Media Use and Attitudes and Media Lives reports – of which the adults’ research is now in its twentieth year - highlight online and media use by asking children and adults across the UK about the role that tech and media play in their lives.
