Cyber Safety
In an increasingly 'online' world, it is important we are keeping our kids as safe as we can. The eSafety commissioner cites huge increases in cyber bullying and writes:
'The internet has given children and young people new opportunities to learn, play and socialise. However, this increased online presence, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic, also exposes them to new harms and risks.'
