Keeping kids safer on major gaming platforms
We recently notified Roblox—one of the most widely used online gaming environments for children—of our intention to directly test the platform’s implementation and effectiveness of the nine safety commitments it made to eSafety last year.
This action follows growing concerns, including from the Australian Government, about online child grooming and sexual exploitation.
Our proactive testing aims to ensure platforms are meeting their commitments and doing their part to create safer online spaces for children and young people.
Practical gaming support
While regulatory action is vital, we also know educators and families need practical support to help children enjoy online games safely and confidently in everyday life.
- Our new gaming toolkit helps families create safer gaming environments for children.
- For young people, we have practical tips for online gaming to help them have positive and safe experiences, and guidance on what to do if something goes wrong.
