Protecting kids in the digital world is an ever evolving task for Australian families.

We have engaged ySafe to take you through the latest trends in online behaviours, social media and games, as well as the latest research and legislation as it applies to children and their families in the online world.

This session is strategy rich, and full of practical tips (including take home resources) to help you ensure you are able to create a truly cyber safe home.
