ACWA is pleased to announce the completion of its national project – funded by an online safety grant from the eSafety Commissioner – to co-design and develop resources aimed at raising awareness of online safety among children and young people in care and their caregivers.
The resources include a series of short videos for children and young people in out-of-home-care, as well as fact sheets and an online training course for caregivers. They are now available on the
ACWA website, and are ready for hosting, and distribution/sharing.
The direct involvement of children and carers in the content development and creative design process means the advice provided is both real and relevant. We are thankful to SNAICC, the national non-government peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children, for leading the development of the videos created for Aboriginal children and young people. ACWA is also grateful to the CREATE Foundation, its partner peaks across the country, and its member agencies for actively supporting this project and helping us to bring together a substantial number of children and young people and carers — more than 300 overall — to contribute to the co-design and development of the resources.
As part of the project, ACWA are seeking feedback on the videos and the online course from children and young people in care, carers, and workers in the OOHC sector.
Feedback helps ACWA understand what works and what doesn't work for resources like this.
