ySafe Online Safety Resources for Parents and Carers

E-safety is vital for all our girls. We would like to remind parents that our ySafe Parent Portal is available to support your daughter’s safety and learning at home, and is provide by a subscription funded by the MLC School P&F.

The induction includes four video modules which cover:

• Setting up devices to be safe for children and teenagers
• Tips for managing class schedules at home
• Supporting kids wellbeing and promoting healthy screen habits
• Where to access help if eSafety issues occur

The induction videos are accessible online via the ySafe Parent Portal. This is an exclusive portal available to MLC School parents, where there is an abundance of information on cyber safety at home, including step-by-step instructions for setting up devices, and reporting tools for managing issues such as cyberbullying.

Insights App

To help parents stay up-to-date on current cyber safety risks, all parents within the School community will receive free access to the Family Zone Insights app as part of this induction. In partnership with Family Zone, this app allows ySafe’s experts to send parents direct updates when their child has accessed something risky online, allowing ease of monitoring and current information on cyber safety issues. Access to the app is on an opt-in basis, with instructions for activating Insights available on the portal. 

The Parent Portal can be accessed via this link.
