Playschool characters help teach young kids about online safety

In 2020, the eSafety Commissioner is starting where it often counts the most: at the very beginning.
'We’ve teamed up with Big Ted, Jemima and their friends from ABC Play School to launch our new eSafety Early Years resources, designed specifically for children under 5,' explains Julie Inman-Grant.
'By a very young age, many children across Australia are already using digital devices – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Kids can learn and develop important skills and behaviours with the right kinds of online games, apps and education programs.
'But there are risks too, especially when devices can be connected to the internet. So, it’s never too early to encourage good online habits.'
