Safe Socials Program Consultation

The Victorian Government is implementing an upcoming social media education program called "Safe Socials." This program will be introduced in schools to help students, parents, and teachers navigate online safety, covering important topics like cyberbullying, privacy protection, and managing harmful content.

The program is designed to equip young people with the skills they need to safely engage online and empower families and educators to support them. To ensure the program is as effective as possible, parents, teachers, and students are invited to share their experiences—both positive and negative—about social media. These insights will help shape the content of "Safe Socials."

You can complete the survey until November 1.
