When someone mentions online-safety risks for children and young people, what do you think of? If you’re like most people, your mind probably goes straight to AI, online bullying, scams and sexual grooming. Those are all real problems, but they represent only the visible harms of digital technology – the tip of the iceberg. This doesn’t mean that everything online is dangerous or harmful.
Australian educators, parents and carers agree on the importance of online safety. Threats like cyberbullying and grooming get most of the attention, and 60% of parents say their children are exposed to online risks (eSafety Commissioner, 2016) However, 90% of parents also say their child benefits from being online, with schoolwork, access to information, and entertainment being key advantages.
