Young Australians advise the Government on cyber-safety
The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy recently welcomed 50 students from across Australia who were in Canberra to advise the Government on cyber-safety issues.
The 2010 Cyber-Safety and Youth Advisory Group (YAG) Summit involves primary and secondary school members, along with their parents and teachers, who will provide their views on a range of Government cyber-safety programs and initiatives.
The YAG Summit coincides with National Cyber Security Awareness Week and provides the Government with a great opportunity to consult with parents, teachers and young people on how to keep young Australians safe online.
During the event, Senator Conroy launched a new Cyber-safety Help Button which provides internet users, particularly children and their parents, with easy access to relevant cyber?safety information and assistance.
The key findings from all of the consultations will be reported to the Minister and presented to the Consultative Working Group on Cyber-safety by representatives of the Youth Advisory Group.
