An Early Childhood online safety education initiative developed in partnership between the Australian Federal Police, the Alannah & Madeline Foundation and the eSafety Commissioner to help parents and educators support children to learn about online safety in ways appropriate to the child’s age and stage of development.

Playing IT Safe introduces technology and online safety through preventative messaging, a series of play-based digital and offline activities that young children can undertake in an early learning setting with educators and at home with parents and carers.

Parents can access information and resources developed by early childhood education and online safety experts. The site encourages parents and carers to engage with their children in fun, interactive and age-appropriate ways to help them better understand technology and create and develop a foundation for good online safety skills that will stay with them as they grow.
