The protection of children is everyone's responsibility. Whether we are children and young people, parents and carers, educators or social care workers, industry or policy makers, or law enforcement and government - we all have a role to play to make the online world a safer, better and positive space.
We encourage our youth to seek out positive opportunities to create, engage and share online. They can help to respond to the negative by supporting peers to tell a parent or trusted adult if they encounter issues online, taking a stand against cyberbullying, and reporting any inappropriate or illegal content they find.
