"This government is absolutely committed to ensuring that Queensland is the safest place to raise a child and this is just another way we are delivering on that promise,'' said the Queensland Minister for Education, Training and Employment, John-Paul Langbroek, in a [statement](http://statements.qld.gov.au/Statement/2014/3/24/website-to-tackle-cyber-bullying). The [*Meet the Creeps*](http://www.creepquiz.eq.edu.au/index.html) website includes an interactive quiz and six characters - including Shifty Shane and Scammer Steve - which each represent the potential dangers for children using online technology. Some of the dangers highlighted by the website include: - GPS tracking, that can result in the location of students being tracked when they post something on social media. - Posting gossip on social media. - Posting explicit photos of yourself on social media or texting the photo to friends. - Sharing personal information on social media. - Being bullied on social media. - Sharing information on social media with strangers. The Queensland Government, in launching the website, cited [research](http://www.pewinternet.org/2013/05/21/teens-social-media-and-privacy/) from the US which found that 78% of teens had a mobile phone and 23% had a tablet computer.         ###### Share this [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2014/03/27/qld-govt-launches-cyber-safety-website%20&body=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2014/03/27/qld-govt-launches-cyber-safety-website](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2014/03/27/qld-govt-launches-cyber-safety-website%20&body=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2014/03/27/qld-govt-launches-cyber-safety-website) ##### About the Author ![](https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(24).png) **CompliSpace** CompliSpace is Ideagen’s SaaS-enabled solution that helps organisations in highly-regulated industries meet their governance, risk, compliance and policy management obligations. ## Resources you may like ###### Article ##### Setting your boarding staff up for success: why policy clarity matters Boarding governance touches on child safety, complaints handling, student health, and much more....
