Some of the topics include:
Understanding & using parental controls to help protect your child online
Parental controls can be a useful addition to the strategies you use to help protect your child online. Parental controls can help keep children and young people by preventing access to harmful content, managing time spent online and who they communicate with.

Sexual extortion: What parents & carers need to know
Sexual extortion or ‘sextortion’ is a form of blackmail where someone threatens to share a nude or sexual image or video of a person unless their demands are met.
Sexual extortion is a serious, growing online concern, especially for young people. But what exactly is it? What conversations may help prevent it and how can you support your child if they’re targeted?

March 21st is International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD). This day is an opportunity to acknowledge complex histories of racism, celebrate the progress towards equality that we’ve made in our multicultural society and to promote our continued journey for a fair and just world.
The 2025 theme for the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination marks the 60th anniversary of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 21, 1965. ICERD was the first major international human rights treaty and laid the groundwork for global efforts to eradicate racism. While the convention has helped dismantle apartheid, abolish racist laws, and build an international framework against discrimination, racism still harms individuals and communities worldwide.
The anniversary serves as a reminder to recommit to equality and strengthen global efforts against racial discrimination. The United Nations has been at the forefront of advocating for equality, emphasizing that all people are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Events like the Durban Declaration and the International Decade for People of African Descent have raised awareness and mobilized action. While significant strides have been made, the fight continues for a world where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.
