We want children and young people to embrace the internet to learn, share, collaborate and participate in civic life with free expression. We also need to ensure that when they do so they are kept safe. When it comes to dealing with young people’s personal information it is important to be mindful that the most valuable commodity in the evolving world of technology and digital information is data. More than this, data is inextricably linked to the individual identity of its owner. We therefore have absolute responsibility to ensure that when young people share their data with us, we treat it with the care and respect it warrants.

While there are many places online, which require us to educate children and young people to be particularly wary, dealings with South Australian agencies, organisations and industry should never be amongst them. It is imperative that these agencies, organisations and industries consistently adopt best practice policies and procedures that ensure children and young people can visit safe online places they know they can trust and confidently access.
