- discussing strategies for maintaining online safety when using digital tools and environments, including the options and processes for reporting negative or harmful behaviour
- exploring actions they can take when they feel unsafe when online; for example, who to speak to if someone posts an embarrassing picture of them without permission or when to step away from negative online social interactions
- proposing strategies they can use if they witness others in unsafe situations, such as accessing support networks or telling an adult they trust
- analysing the responses of characters in TV shows or movies when in unsafe or risky situations and discussing the efficacy of their response to the situation
