Jackie Riach: Triple P NZ manager on whether New Zealand needs an under-16 social media ban - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

There's renewed pressure on the Government to get the ball rolling on a social media ban for Kiwi teens.

Last year, Australia banned social media for under-16s and it's inspired other countries to consider implementing similar measures.

Triple P NZ manager Jackie Riach says it's too early to see the full impact of Australia's ban, but parents are reporting positive results so far.

"The ban is one thing - what Australia did do alongside the ban was implement some parenting support, so I'm reporting the data from the parenting support, which is great."
