(L-R) Federal Member for Brisbane Arch Bevis, Karen Orford of ekidnaworld.com and Minister for Home Affairs Brendan O'Connor at the Launch of the ThinkUKnow program at Ithaca Creek State School

Arch Bevis, along with the Minister for Home Affairs Brendan O'Connor, attended the national launch of the ThinkUKnow website at Ithaca Creek State School.

ThinkUKnow is a new resource for parents, teachers and carers to help them educate children about internet safety and encourage them to think before they act online.

The program informs people about the types of things young people are doing online, how to minimise risks and address issues as they arise. 

Teachers, parents and carers can register online to download resource packs that cover a range of serious issues including include cyber-bullying, online grooming, inappropriate content, scams and identity theft.
