Netsafe are hosting Net Safety Week again this year (24-30 July) to help provide practical tools and harm prevention support to enable New Zealanders to get the most benefit – and the least harm – while living their digital lives.

This year’s Net Safety Week theme is: Arming Aotearoa with the tools for positive online experiences This year’s theme focuses on resilience and self-defence; building knowledge and tactical tools for an online world that remains imperfect. During the week focussed on harm prevention, we hope to provoke conversations around: the impact of social media on our professional and personal lives, how employers can support their staff online, how New Zealanders can arm themselves against the rise of scams, how to have more positive experiences on some of our most popular platforms, and tools for young people to lead positive change in their school communities.

TikTok 'Beat the Bullies' Webinar'

TikTok will share the tools that are available to put you in control in a special live webinar during Netsafety Week - 12noon Wednesday 25 July.

They will cover topics like:

• Family Pairing,
• Managing comments in a way that work for you,
• How to report content,
• The tools available to protect younger users.
