Netsafety Week

Top five online safety tips from Netsafe:

● Korero with wha¯nau — regular, non-judgmental conversations help minimise the harm if things go wrong.

● Be a good digital citizen — think twice before you engage online and be respectful of others and our differences.

● Swipe left on fake news. Do you trust the source? Can you factcheck it? Report fake news, don’t share it.

● Discuss sensitive topics. There’s a myth that all young people are sharing nudes, which puts extra pressure on them to join in. Have open conversations and know where to get help if something is shared without your consent.

● Know your rights under the Harmful Digital Communications Act. Netsafe can help you if things go wrong.
