Time: 12.30pm - 2pm
Venue: On zoom or at 3 Gibbons Road, Takapuna.

A light lunch will be provided at the venue.

You will learn:

* How to have you say and contribute to the discussion

* Practical tips for writing a submission

* Discussion and the opportunity for organisations to collaborate on a joint submission

The workshop will be led by Sandy Thompson (LEAD).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
