01.01.2022 From time to time there are videos on various social media platforms containing graphic content hidden in seemingly innocent videos targeted at children. The eSafety commissioner is urging everyone not to view or share these videos. If you encounter such a video you should report it on the eSafety website, https://www.esafety.gov.au/report. Any parents seeking further information about these types of videos or require support dealing with such videos please contact me on 02 4...9949266. I encourage all families to regularly monitor their child’s social media activity, particularly over the school holidays. I also would like to remind our community that all social media platforms have age restrictions, most 13 years. These age restrictions are in place to help keep our children safe from inappropriate content until they are mature enough to deal with the complexities of social media.
