Growing Up Online – Cybersafety Parent Info Session

 

Join us for an informative and entertaining session for parents and carers delivered by Susan Mclean. Her 'no nonsense' approach will cover the benefits of technology, as well as what parents need to be aware of, including:

  • What are kids doing online?
  • Online grooming
  • Cyberbullying
  • Sharing nudes
  • Potential dangers and safety tips
  • Problematic Internet use and gaming issues
