Police, in partnership with PCYC NSW, will hold a free hour-long forum at Morisset PCYC from 7pm on Tuesday, February 6.
Sessions will be held in each of the state’s PCYCs at that time.
Youth and Crime Prevention Commander, Superintendent David Roptell, said he hoped the community would take up the opportunity to attend the informative session.
“These forums will cover a range of topics including privacy settings and content, cyber-bullying, online grooming, digital shadows, having respectful relationships online and – most importantly – where to get help,” he said.
“While the internet can be a fun and educational place, we want families to be aware of the dangers that sharing information online could potentially bring.
“Anyone can be a victim of cyber-bullying because it doesn’t discriminate and the anonymous nature of the online environment makes it easy to target people.
“We want to give people the tools to safeguard themselves and their loved ones.”

Morisset PCYC is at 5 Kahibah Street, Morisset. Phone:4973 4766.
