Right Now: Episode 2
Talk Early, Talk Often
“Are we really preparing young people for life online. Or just hoping they survive it?”
In this episode of Right Now, I sit down with one of Australia’s most respected voices in cyber safety, Susan McLean. With more than 28 years’ experience supporting schools, organisations and families, Susan brings clarity, calm and a deeply human perspective to one of the current challenges of modern childhood.
As an educator and parent, I see daily how deeply our young people’s lives are shaped by their digital world. This conversation felt urgent.
We explore:
What schools are getting right and where they can be focussing their attention in digital education
How families can support children with understanding, not fear
Australia’s evolving social media laws, and where to next
If we want young people to flourish online, we can’t afford to be reactive. We need informed conversations, strong relationships, and the courage to engage early.
