After being named as a successful recipient of the eSafety Commissioner’s Online Safety Grants in late 2021, we have begun the process of mapping out our exciting project, Cyber Safety Training for Young People with Disability.
Our project will develop a series of online training programs to assist communities of young people with disability and their support networks to have positive and safe online experiences.
Australia’s leading cyber safety experts, ySafe, have teamed up with us to create the training modules. This partnership allows for the unique collaboration of our expertise in supporting people with disability with ySafe’s expertise in the delivery of cyber safety education.
We will be creating four online safety modules specifically for young people with disability. These modules will provide the resources and tools to ensure a solid understanding of safe online behaviours, and prevent online exploitation, cyberbullying, online abuse and risks specifically related to vulnerable young people when accessing the internet.
Three training modules will also be developed for parents and carers, allowing this group of critical influencers to access information, resources and tools to support safe online behaviour and encourage young people to engage safely online.
By providing this training online and for free, young people with disability anywhere in Australia will have equal access to these education resources.
Keep up to date with the project by following our Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn pages. For more information, contact Interaction by clicking here.
In the wake of proposed changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, you may have heard stories that the NDIS is getting rid of Support Coordinators. The short answer is, not yet, and not the way the rumours suggest. There are genuine changes on the horizon, but they’re still years from being finalised, and your […]
Every person communicates in their own way. Sometimes that communication can look like behaviour that worries the people around them. If you support someone who is showing behaviours of concern, it’s natural to feel unsure about what’s happening or the best way to help. The good news is that these behaviours almost always have a […]
If you are navigating the NDIS for the first time, or helping a family member put together their plan, you have probably come across the terms “Behaviour Support” and “Allied Health Services” and have wondered what they actually mean and how they are different from each other. It is a common question, and a good […]
Going out into the community, taking up a class or starting a new hobby is not just something to fill your time. These are meaningful parts of a fulfilling life, one that you want to live. For NDIS participants these sorts of activities can feel confusing, especially when trying to determine which support category covers […]
If you or someone you support has an NDIS plan, chances are you’ve come across the term NDIS self-care in Sydney as a support category with “Community Access and Self-Care”. What does it mean? It’s one of those phrases that sounds pretty straightforward, but it can mean something different for everyone, depending on their goals […]
When safety, wellbeing or quality of life are impacted, Behaviour Support Plans become a key tool amongst your support network. You may have come across the term and thought it to be complicated. However, it is actually a simple process built on a positive belief: that every behaviour has a reason behind it and with […]
If you’re a parent, carer or family member of someone living with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), you already understand that no two people experience the condition in exactly the same way. Every individual has their own needs, routines, challenges and strengths – which means finding the right home and support environment is never a one-size-fits-all decision. […]
If you’ve recently heard the term Prader-Willi Syndrome for the first time, you’re not alone. It’s a condition that many people outside the disability and medical community haven’t come across. But for the families and individuals living with it, it shapes almost every aspect of daily life. So what exactly is it, how is it […]
Moving into Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a big step. And like any big step, it comes with a lot of questions. One of the most common ones we hear is: “Do I actually get a say in any of this?” The short answer is yes,more than you might think. SIL is built on the principle […]
