P&F Parent Information Session: Preparing Your Children for the Under 16s Social Media Ban

The P&F are delighted to offer parents access to this important session on how to deal with the Under 16s social media ban, presented by digital safety and governance expert, Kirra Prendergast, of 'Safe on Social'.

 

In response to growing global concerns about online harms, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Reddit, X/Twitter, and YouTube will need to have age-verification measures to restrict access for users under 16 from accessing these platforms in Australia by the end of this year. 

 

Without preparation, teens risk losing access to connections, content, or communities they love, with little notice.

 

This webinar will help you plan with your child, not just for them, preserving their agency, digital memory, and online wellbeing.

 

SAVE THE DATE: 7pm Monday 15 September, Performance Theatre
