Community Service Announcements
Neighbourhood Watch Australasia (NHWA) works in conjunction with national and local television broadcast organisations to share a range of Community Service Announcements (CSAs) that benefit individuals and communities, these include messages on personal safety, vehicle security and how to report crimes. NHWA has recently also launched a series of CSAs addressing the prevalence of Online Child Sexual Exploitation and ways in which parents and carers can help keep their kids safe online.
The CSAs can be used at local Neighbourhood Watch events and activities, contact admin@nhwa.com.au for more information.
Keeping Kids Safe Online
Neighbourhood Watch Australasia (NHWA) in collaboration with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) has created a series of Community Service Announcements (CSAs) with the theme “Keeping Kids Safe Online” – with crime prevention messaging about online child safety specifically focused on online child sexual exploitation.
The series follows parents and carers supporting their children through scenarios of online predatory behaviour – demonstrating the importance of keeping open and honest conversations going with children about online safety.
Let’s work together with our kids to ensure they’re safe from online dangers.
Key messages include:
- Any child/young person can be a target
- Know the red flags of online sexual exploitation
- Encourage kids to speak up and report when something isn’t right
The Keeping Kids Safe Online CSAs have been exceptionally well-received by the Australian broadcasting sector and are being aired during primetime viewing Australia-wide on Paramount Network Ten, WIN TV, GOOD TV, also C31 a community station based in Melbourne.
