ESafety Advice
Dealing with distressing online content - eSafety advice
With the tragic and distressing events unfolding in the Middle East, Australia's independent regulator for online safety, eSafety, has issued guidance to help parents and carers support their children in dealing with distressing online content.
The eSafety website has resources for parents and carers about online safety. These include information on extra precautions you can take to protect your children from seeing disturbing content online.
eSafety encourage parents and carers supporting young people who may be more vulnerable to check in with them.

· Headspace: 1800 650 890
· Kids Helpline: 1800 551 800
· Lifeline: 13 11 14
