My Department uses social media advertising where appropriate. It is used in order to highlight a wide range of important justice issues to the public, for example, the No Excuses and Still Here public awareness campaigns to tackle domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. Social media can be more cost-effective than traditional media and is particularly useful in reaching younger audiences.

As of yet, my Department does not have an allocated budget for social media spend for 2021.
