Screen Off Life On This Summer!

06 August 2024

By: Sarah McCann - JU:MP Staff

JU:MP (Join Us: Move. Play) are pleased to share details of our latest campaign, Screen Off Life On. The concept is to support Bradford families to swap screen time for activities off screen.

Screen Off Life On is a public resource, co-created by Bradford families and tailored for children, young people and adults to help Bradford families get up, get out, and get happy!

In recent years, leading authors, educationalists and child-development experts have been calling on the government to introduce national guidelines on the use of screens. The most recent research suggests that use of screen technology is becoming a more complex challenge for parents.

Screen Off Life On features easy to use resources, including a parent guide and family plan, that offer top tips and advice on how to swap some screen time to spend more time doing different activities with family and friends.

Over 10,000 family members have joined the JU:MP movement, with over 50 Bradford schools and community organisations already taking part in the Screen Off Life On campaign, including pupils, parents, teachers and staff members, and volunteers.

As well as lots of helpful Screen Off Life On tools, visitors can view links to useful websites and resources (including charities and other associations), and get key information on what constitutes one of the most important things in our everyday lives.
