The Carly Ryan Foundation - Parent Online Safety Presentation

Mrs Natalie Hall

Information for parents and caregivers to address the current risks posed to children online, and how to manage them.

Ardtornish Primary School - SCHOOL GYM

We are calling all parents in our school community to attend a very important presentation addressing the current risks posed to children online, and how to manage these within your families and the community. Our children are accessing the world through their internet connected devices, and that borderless world is not always a safe one. Child Exploitation is a Global Public Safety Issue and children in Australia are just as susceptible as anywhere else. Research conducted by the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) shows that parents are not accurately informed about the ways in which predators are able to access, manipulate and coerce children online, or how to prevent this. The Carly Ryan Foundation, a certified eSafety Education Provider, has developed an hour-long program designed to provide parents with the most essential and up to date information needed to keep their children safe online. Here is some feedback provided by previous participants:&quot;All information was taken on board and shared with friends and family. Very confronting session but well worth the time&quot;&quot;A little scary with how little I knew, but very encouraging and educational for me&quot;&quot;I was incredibly grateful for the work the Carly Ryan Foundation has done and continues to do. The session was a wake up call, I became aware of how little I knew and why I should know much more.&quot;&quot;Such an important presentation which helped me to better understand the online world, young people and parenting&quot;&quot;Content was very informative, the presentation was very practical and the passion and emotion for the work shined through- thank you for sharing&quot;&quot;The Carly Ryan Foundation&#x27;s parent presentation was very informative. For me, I was extremely worried about my Autistic son using social media as he can be desperate to &quot;fit in&quot; and therefore vulnerable to suggestions. My response to him using social media was &quot;no&quot;. Since the presentation, I am much more confident in him, and myself, utilising the space as informed and educated users, and have implemented the Family Online Safety Contract in our household. My son is happy to ask questions and to inform me if he has come across anything that appears suspect&quot;Our school will be hosting this very important event on Monday, August 14, 2023. The event is not appropriate for children. Please invite Grandparents, friends, Aunties, and Uncles. The information shared by the Foundation at this session is relevant to all internet users, especially those in the care of children.
