Net Safety Night at Hillcrest Library
Hey everyone, just letting you know that at the Hillcrest Library, there will be a Net Safety Night on Thursday 29th July at 6pm. The evening will start with a short presentation from Netsafe, and then there will be an open forum where parents and caregivers can ask questions and get advice around some of the threats that their families might encounter online.
Every week in New Zealand, nearly 440 people seek help from Netsafe for online harassment, image-based abuse, hate speech, grooming, scams, and school incidents. So, it's a really good chance to get some in-person help and advice if you're worried about these numbers. There will also be some hard copy resources to take away with you as well.
You can pre-register your interest at the following link (hamiltonlibraries.co.nz...), but you can also simply show up in the evening.
