NEW SURVEY on the under-16s Social Media Ban 📱
Five months on from the government banning anyone under 16 from accessing social media, what’s actually changed for young people?
Our friends at CYDA want to find out with their new national survey for:
🔶 Children with disability under 16
🔶 Young people with disability aged 16 to 25
🔶 Parents, family members, and caregivers of under-16s
Has the new law made you feel safer online? Are you finding it harder to connect with mates? Have you encountered any accessibility issues? Or are things mostly the same?
These are questions not enough people are asking, but the answers matter.
🔗 Take CYDA’s survey today: www.surveymonkey.com/r/MN5RL8T
(…or share it with someone you know.)
Your voice can help make sure the law meets the needs of children and young people with disability all across Australia.
