ABOUT THE INFORMATION SESSION
Presented by Bec Nguyen, Digital Projects Manager at Telethon Kids Institute.
In this half-hour presentation, Bec discusses online safety, cyber security for children, dealing with cyber behaviour issues and the launching of the Beacon App.

Developed after 15 years of cyber behaviour research by scientists at the Telethon Kids Institute and digital expertise and research by Bankwest.

BEACON aims to improve the digital future for Australian children by building parents’ and carers’ digital skills so they can confidently navigate their children’s use of digital technology in a positive way and minimise potential harms associated with being online.
The BEACON App integrates seamlessly into parents’ daily lives, delivering the most trusted and up-to-date information backed by behavioural science research, as well as personalised support, ideas and strategies at their fingertips to navigate the ever-changing online world.
