Hear more stories behind the breakthrough
Helping kids stay safe and strong online
Turning research into action against cyberbullying.
Informed by more than 15 years of research, The Kids developed the Beacon app and with Dolly’s Dream now supporting the app, it's helping families keep children safe online.
Cyberbullying is one of the biggest mental health challenges facing young people today. To support families, The Kids with the support of Bankwest created the Beacon app, drawing on over 15 years of research into online safety and child wellbeing. Later, Dolly’s Dream joined the partnership, helping Beacon reach more families across Australia. Today, the app gives parents and carers trusted tools and guidance to navigate the digital world with their children.
In this video, Professor Donna Cross shares how that research is turning into action to create safer online spaces for kids.
