ABC News -> Read the full article here but find below her top tips for sharing more safely. Remember, NEVER sharing on social media is THE safest.
Some tips for sharing online from Ms Inman Grant include:
- Avoid sharing any photos or videos with personal or private information — particularly school uniforms that can identify location.
- Avoid adding comments to photos that identify locations or that identify features in front of your home.
- Ensure schedules of children’s activities are not shared online.
- Only share with people you really know and trust — and be aware that if one of your friends likes your picture, it may also become visible to their friends.
- Ask your child if it’s OK to share their photo — this is also a great way to develop their understanding of consent and respect.
- Remember that the information and photos you share contribute to your child’s digital reputation.
“More than ever, we really have to be careful about what we put online,” says Dr Orlando.
