The Social Media Ban

Prepare your students, parents, and school for the social media ban with tools to navigate the transition, build resilience, and thrive offline.

The social media ban is coming ... are you ready?

Why this matters for you:

Students are anxious: Students don’t understand what’s happening, why it’s important or how it will impact them.
Parents are in the dark: Most parents have no idea this ban is coming—they don’t know what to do or how it’ll impact their kids.

Schools will feel the fallout: Without support, students may struggle emotionally and socially, affecting their learning and wellbeing.

Your school will play a key role in helping students to navigate this change.

What's happening?

The Government has raised the minimum age for social media use, effectively banning children under 16 years old from using social media.

That means that children under 16 won’t be allowed to access platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, Reddit & Snapchat.

Without well-rounded support, this massive shift may leave your kids feeling anxious, disconnected, and overwhelmed.

Scroll Smart Workshop Series

Year 7-12

The social media ban is the circuit breaker we have all been waiting for. The ban has the potential to shake up students' technology habits, making them happier and healthier. But this will only happen if they have the tools, support and motivation to make a change.

The Scroll Smart Workshop Series is a hands-on, multi-session program designed to help students transition successfully off social media. Building on the Student Social Media Ban Keynote, these workshops dive deep into the essential skills students need to thrive offline - from building meaningful connections to developing healthy phone habits, especially around sleep.
During these interactive workshops, students will learn and practice these skills, ensuring they are truly prepared for the ban.
Without this preparation, students will likely fall into their old patterns, simply replacing social media with other tech, leaving the underlying issues unresolved.
These workshops will give students the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their phone use habits, assess technology's impact on their sleep and focus, and learn strategies for building friendships in real life.
Workshop topics include:
- Productive phone use habits
- Sleep - technology’s impact
- Strategies to cope without social media
- Building friendships and meaningful connections offline
- Practising fun offline
- Focus and attention
These workshops are designed to give students the tools to prepare for life after social media and to thrive offline.
A workshop series preparing students for the ban by diving into:
- Strategies for life without social media.
- Building healthy digital habits.
- Strengthening offline friendships and connections.
This workshop series runs over a number of sessions and can be delivered to entire year groups, individual classes or as an opt-in course outside of school hours.
