Six months after Australia introduced its world-first ban on social media for under-16s, we would like to hear from parents and carers about whether it is making a difference

Six months after Australia introduced its under-16 social media ban, supporters say it is helping to protect young people online, while critics argue many teenagers are still using social media and that the restrictions are difficult to enforce.

As countries including the UK consider similar measures, and the Australian government is promoting the ban as a model for others, we’d like to hear from parents and carers about how it has affected their families.
