Parent Webinars - as sent out as a Flexischools last week.
The eSafety Commissioner is offering a number of FREE parent webinars that are taking place this week and there are dates for future webinars. These live webinars explore the latest research and they are a great way to learn how you can help your child develop the skills to be safer online.
The webinar will look at how parents and carers can support young people to have safe and respectful online relationships and what to do if things go wrong.
It will cover:
- starting conversations with your child about their online friendships and positive ways to deal with changing relationships
- understanding the rights, laws and community expectations that govern social media use
- where to seek help if your child is involved in a cyberbullying incident.
To register for these free webinars you are asked to register via the esafety commissioner website;
