New resource to help you speak with your kids about online safety

eSafety’s Mighty heroes is a new resource for kids aged 5 - 8 years old. It features four short-animated videos and conversation starters for parents to talk to kids and reflect on the online safety messages in each chapter.

There are four heroes - Wanda the echidna, River the sugar glider, Dusty the frilled neck lizard, and Billie the bilby - and each has an online safety superpower to share with your family.

You can also hear the eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, talk about the Mighty heroes on the latest Squiz Kids podcast.
