Tips on how to stay safe online during the COVID-19 pandemic

eSafety Early Years program for educators

eSafety recognises that early years educators work closely with the families of the children in their care.

So we have designed the eSafety Early Years program to support that important relationship. Together, we can improve online safety for our youngest Australians!

New eSafety Early Years resources for educators are being added throughout 2020. Register to stay updated.
