Now What?
The announcement of a social media ban for young people has sparked plenty of questions, opinions and concerns. But what does it actually mean for families? And how can parents respond in a way that is thoughtful, realistic and supportive?
Join psychologist Dr Chris Bagley and author, illustrator and parent advocate Eliza Fricker for a balanced conversation exploring what this change could mean in everyday family life. Rather than focusing on fear or extremes, this webinar will offer a measured perspective, helping parents make sense of the headlines and consider practical ways to support their children and teenagers in a rapidly changing digital world.
Whether you’re feeling relieved, uncertain or somewhere in between, this webinar aims to provide reassurance, evidence-informed guidance and space for thoughtful discussion.
Parents, carers, educators and anyone supporting children and young people who wants to better understand the implications of the social media ban and respond with confidence rather than anxiety.
So bring your questions along.
Dr Chris Bagley started in education as a secondary school teacher and later trained as an Educational Psychologist. Over the years, he has spent much time working in the Youth Justice sector, school exclusion and managed moves and has practiced, mostly, in a youth offending team and in Pupil Referral Units and Secure Children Homes (child prisons) for a number of years. He also supervises doctorate research and lectures at The Institute of Education, UCL.
In another role, as Director of Research at States of Mind CIC and in collaboration with UCL, Chris conducts participatory action research to gather young peoples’ insights and place their voices at the centre of education reform.
