Parents in the UK: how do you feel about the potential under-16s social media ban?
With ministers considering measures that could include restrictions on under-16s’ access to social media, we would like to hear from parents and carers about what changes they want to see
The UK government is expected to announce new measures to protect children online, as ministers examine the impact of Australia’s world-first social media ban for under-16s, six months after it came into force.
We’d like to hear from parents and carers about their views on a potential social media ban or other restrictions.
Would you support restrictions on children’s access to social media? How concerned are you about your child’s use of social media, gaming platforms or messaging apps? What impact have they had on your child and family life?
