Child Safety

Supporting your child online

Child safety online involves protecting kids from harmful content, dangerous contact with strangers, and negative conduct like cyberbullying.  As parents and carers, you can guide positive online behaviour by setting clear device rules, using parental controls, and maintaining open communication about digital habits. 

This issue of the newsletter invites parents and carers to interact with resources on the e-safety commissioner website.  A suite of resources including access to free webinars exist to help parents navigate the topic of online safety.

These live webinars give parents and carers the knowledge, skills and tools to support their children to have safer online experiences.  In addition, a range of other topics

Additionally, I would point your attention to the e-safety guide on the website which provides advice on how to safely interact with common social media, games, apps and site.  This might assist you to understand more fully how your child is communicating online and the potential risks and benefits of these platforms.

Please be mindful of the social media restrictions that restrict children under the age of 16 from accessing some social media platforms.
