Social Media Age Limits Survey
I am writing to you today to share the news that the Allan Labor Government will deliver a new social media education program to keep kids safe online, as we open consultation on new national laws around age limits.
Parents have told us they're worried about their kids using social media, but they feel
powerless to push back against the tech giants.
That's why our Labor Government will work with the Commonwealth to introduce age limits, so kids aren't using social media before they're ready.
An online survey opening today will give parents, teachers, young people and the general public the opportunity to share their experiences and concerns about social media use.
Groups can also participate through self-guided discussions, using an online guide.
But age limits are only part of the equation.
Social media is a reality of modern life, and we need to make sure young people have the
tools to navigate it safely.
Findings from this consultation process within shape a new social safety program. Safe Socials will be delivered in schools as a resource for students, teachers and families
about how to navigate social media.
The survey engage vic.gov.au/safesocials will be open until November 1.
I encourage you to share this link with parents, teachers and young people at your
fantastic school.
Should you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Warm regards
