Nine 'youth juries' were established across three major British cities-London, Leeds and Nottingham-, each comprising twelve 12-to-17 year-olds who were invited to act as 'jurors' with a view to 'putting the Internet on trial'. This article outlines the method that was designed for conducting these juries, focusing upon two innovative features: the organisation of deliberative juries, based upon a four-step process for arriving at policy recommendations; and the use of dramatic scenarios, intended to make relatable to personal experience what might otherwise have been regarded as abstract policy principles.

The expert view is that screen time, when measured in hours, matters less than the content, context and connections associated with children's digital engagement. How are health visitors to advise parents accordingly? Drawing on new qualitative research with UK children, parents and carers and professionals who work with children, and on a national survey of 6–17-year-olds, this article asks whether the qualities of play that apply offline can also be applied online. The findings offer a language for parents, children and health visitors to talk about, and evaluate, when and how digital play benefits or undermines children's wellbeing.

Young people aged between 12 and 17 across three major British cities — London, Leeds and Nottingham — were invited to play the role of ‘jurors’ on a case where ‘the Internet was put on trial’. The recommendations reported in this paper are intended to improve digital experience and online safety as contributions to policy. These recommendations derive from the ‘youth jurors’ policy deliberations designed to encourage young people to reflect on their digital experience and collectively develop their own problem definitions and solutions.
