Social Media Ban For Under-16s: Solution Or New Risk?

Social Media Ban for Under-16s: Solution or New Risk?

Our safeguarding consultants share their initial reactions to the government's proposed social media ban for under 16s.

We explore how this policy might realistically play out in practice, and what it could mean day-to-day for children, parents, and schools. We have a think about at both intended outcomes and potential unintended consequences, including the new risks that could emerge if young people are pushed into less visible or less regulated online spaces.

Been having first aid training for 13 years. This was the best one I've attended. Far more informative and covered more likely scenarios that would happen in the school setting
