New learning resources to help your family stay safe online
eSafety has released new resources to help parents and carers from all backgrounds protect their families online.
The new videos and advice sheets from the Online Safety for Every Family suite of resources covers how to:
- get started with social media
- enjoy safer online gaming
- help your child if they are bullied online.
To make sure more families can start a conversation with their children about online safety, the information comes in multiple languages - English, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Tamil and Dari.
Webinar: Online sexual harassment and image-based abuse
Did you know almost a third of reports made to eSafety about image-based abuse relate to people under 18?
While it can be devastating for a young person to have nude or intimate images of themselves shared without their consent, getting the right support can reduce the harm.
eSafety’s parent guide to online sexual harassment and image based-abuse webinar covers how to report image-based abuse and where to get support if your child experiences abuse online. Register now for the last sessions in 2022.
Use parental controls to keep your family safe online
Many games, apps and social media sites now come with parental controls, with Snapchat the latest to launch an in-app Family Center to support young people to have safer experiences online.
eSafety’s parental controls video helps parents and carers understand the benefits and limitations, the different controls you can access and what safety settings to use when there are no parental controls available.
