The eSafety Guide helps you find out how to protect your personal information and report harmful content on common social media, games, apps and sites.

If you are a parent or carer who is deciding whether a child should be allowed to use an online service or platform, you can also:

  • help them understand what to do if they need help
  • provide ongoing support and monitoring, for example through regular check-ins with your child
  • agree to some rules about use of each service or platform.
