Social Media Ban Guide for Families

This guide has been created to help parents and carers understand the recent social media ban announcement and what it may mean for children and families. While the changes have sparked a range of reactions and many details are still unclear, parents will continue to play a vital role in helping children navigate online life safely.

The resource provides a balanced overview of what has been announced, what we still do not know, and practical advice on how to talk to children about the changes. Most importantly, it encourages parents to keep conversations open, supportive and judgement free, helping children feel able to seek help whenever they need it.

We will continue to share guidance as more details are learnt about the announcement. Please continue to check this page or our social media for the latest guidance.
