Wellbeing At McAuley 

10th December is quickly approaching...

Why will there be a delay to social media account access for under-16s?

There’s evidence between social media use and harms to the mental health and wellbeing of young people. 

While there can be benefits in social media use, the risk of harms may be increased for young people as they do not yet have the skills, experience or understanding to navigate complex social media environments. 

To find out details about the social media minimum age changes and the social media platforms it will include, visit the Social media age restrictions hub.

To help parents, carers and under 16s prepare for the change, further campaign material and resources are on this page. 

We encourage you to share them with your friends, family, colleagues and networks.
