CCSP advocating for parents and carers
On behalf of parents and carers of children attending Catholic schools in NSW and ACT CCSP made submissions to the Australian Government's Inquiries into Social Media in 2022 and 2020.
The submissions are another example of how CCSP advocates to have your collective voice heard by government.
Technology is changing at a rapid rate, it is important for us and our children to understand how to safely and respectfully use the many applications on our devices. It is also very important to know how to report content that is inappropriate or harmful.
At 7.30pm, Tuesday 8 March, the eSafety Commissioner in collaboration with CCSP is presenting a free webinar to assist parents and carer support their children while online.
On 23 January 2022, Australia welcomed the commencement of the Online Safety Act 2021, which provides additional protections for Australians in the fight against online harms, including a world-first Adult Cyber Abuse Scheme to protect Australians aged over 18, and a broader Cyberbullying Scheme for Australian children to capture harms that occur on online services other than social media.
The eSafety Commissioner now also has the authority to order service providers to remove illegal and restricted content – including child sexual exploitation material and terrorist content – no matter where it is hosted. Click here to read the factsheet produced by the eSafety Commissioner.
