Across the globe, there are vulnerable children and teenagers being exposed to various channels of information, often quite graphic, unfiltered and some can lead to exploitation. The responsibility for protecting kids, is community wide. It starts with parents and carers and teachers, but everyone has a role to play in keeping children safe from harm online. In this episode we chat with General Manger of eSafety -Toby Dagg. Their office keeps tabs on suspicious activity in the online space and helps protect people online. It's Australia's first and only regulatory body of its kind. Toby gives us insight into emerging online dangers and trends and what we can do about it.
