We’ve worked with Spectrum Care to create plain language online safety guides and resources for people with an intellectual disability, and those who support them.
People use the internet in different ways and these guides can help them stay safe.
Equally as important as securing devices and online access are the conversations you have at home with your whānau.
It's essential to be be aware of behaviours that could transition from healthy to unhealthy, or that could pose risks while online.
You can contact Netsafe seven days a week for free, confidential and non-judgmental advice about an online issue impacting you or someone you know.
