We want to hear from people in the south of Europe who are experiencing high temperatures

A range of health and environmental alerts have been issued across Europe, particularly its southern part, as large parts of the continent continue to be gripped by a heatwave – with temperatures in mid to high 30s and low 40s Celsius.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or just someone curious about the long-term effects, we’d like to hear your questions

A quarter of three- and four-year-olds in the UK now own a smartphone, but the impact of that is still being understood.

In a video series on our It’s Complicated Youtube channel, we’re speaking to experts to explore how smartphones might be affecting children’s mental health, attention, self-esteem and relationships. Are social apps making kids more anxious? What happens when children are targeted by ads that shape their sense of identity from a young age? What do we know, and what don’t we yet understand, about growing up in a world where you’re always online?
