Safer Internet Day 2020
Together for a better internet!
#SID2020, 11 February 2020
Free webinars for parents and carers
The Office of the eSafety Commissioner will be hosting four parent webinars for primary and secondary parents and carers during #SID2020 week. These live webinars will explore the latest research and expert advice for using technology safely. They are a great way to learn how you can help your child develop the skills to be safer online.
A webinar is a live, internet-based video conference that you can watch from anywhere. All you need is a device and an internet connection. Once you register for a webinar you will receive information on how to connect.
All sessions will be delivered by eSafety expert, Greg Gebhart. Greg is one of Australia’s leading online safety presenters. We were fortunate to have him present cybersafety information to our parents back in February 2015.
