Help your child be an upstander

We are seeing an increase in the posting of fight videos and the creation of fight-specific accounts on social media. These videos typically show a victim being assaulted by one person or a group of individuals.

You can help by having conversations with your child about being respectful online. If they see anything distressing online you can help them report it anonymously. Use our How to be an upstander resource as a conversation starter and equip them with the skills and confidence to make a difference.

If your child sees fight videos or distressing content online, you can report it to the platform. The eSafety Guide explains how to report complaints to common services and platforms. If the platform does not help, you can report it to eSafety.
