Tertiary institutions
The resources in this toolkit are designed to be used by those responsible for the design and administration of policies and procedures.
The tertiary sector offers almost endless opportunities for people from all walks of life to interact, engage and learn. But unfortunately, many of the same online safety risks experienced throughout society are reflected in these communities. It is important to support students and staff to have positive experiences in a safe online environment.
Resources
These resources offer guidance to the institutional leaders and staff tasked with managing the online risks that can impact their tertiary community.
The resources are specific to this audience, covering policies, principles and procedures that will help create safer online environments and respond to incidents within their communities.
