Australia have already announced a ban that should come in to effect around 12 months after the legislation goes through:

I for one think this is a great idea. I know there are many that will disagree with me. It seems to be well documented at this stage just how damaging social media can be on young children and drastic measures are needed

Hi OP,

Hope you don't mind us popping our head round the door to let you know that Josh MacAlister MP has written for us about his Bill on safer smart phone use for kids - and he's keen to hear from Mumsnetters about the measures he's proposed. You can read his piece and share feedback here.

Thanks,
