With the increase in access that young people have to the Internet and online content, it is important as parents and educators that we stay up to date with resources and strategies that are available to help keep our children safe in online environments. 

These are some useful links for parents and carers to educate themselves on Internet safety. Please take some time to explore the digital resources included below. 

The eSafety Commissioner is run by the Australian Government. It covers a lot of content and is the place that parents or carers can go to if they need to report online abuse or misuse.
