The Kids Research Institute Australia and Dolly's Dream are proud to deliver Beacon - a cyber safety educational app designed to keep parents and carers up-to-date with trusted, tailored information, to help keep their kids safe online.

Beacon would not have been made possible without the generous support and collaborations of the following organisations.

We've provided some tips and strategies straight from the Beacon app for issues that families are commonly facing when navigating the online world.

Definitions of sexting vary but there is a general consensus that it involves ‘sexually explicit content communicated via text messages, smartphones, or visual and activities such as social networking sites’.

The question of whether or not parents should monitor their children’s social media often triggers a lot of follow up questions.

Parents and carers are often asking how to help manage screen time and especially avoiding 'techno tantrums' when asking children to stop using devices.

We’ve compiled some useful messages, digital assets and sample posts to help you promote Beacon.
