Events and programs for young people
Parent information night: eSafety and the social media ban
Evolve Education will be delivering a series of parent information sessions on eSafety for young people this November and December funded by the City of Port Phillip.
The first session is an interactive workshop that empowers parents with practical skills to support their teenagers' digital wellbeing. The second session looks at the changes in social media age restrictions for under-16s which will be coming into effect on December 10th, exploring ways to help families navigate these changes.
It is recommended for parents to attend both sessions where possible, although it is not mandatory.
