Welcome to the July edition
of Linewize Latest!


With much of July falling during the school holidays, now is the perfect time for schools using Linewize Connect and the Qustodio Parent Tools to remind families to partner with you in this important Cyber Safety initiative. School breaks often mean more screen time for students, making this an ideal moment to reinforce healthy online habits at home.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s webinar "Striking the right balance between safety and learning". If you couldn’t make it, you can catch up by watching our webinar replay.

From the filtering rules webinar we've created a new practical guide, highlighting common pitfalls and key considerations when creating safe, learning-ready filtering policies within the Linewize Filter platform. 

We also highlight the eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant’s recent National Press Club address,
Swimming Between the Digital Flags: Helping Young Australians Navigate Social Media’s Dangerous Currents.
Ms Inman Grant outlines key aspects of Australia’s forthcoming social media regulations. This timely and important address offers valuable insights into the changing online safety landscape, particularly relevant as your school prepares to review its Social and Streaming Media policies ahead of the Dec 2025 regulatory changes, and as you continue to strengthen student digital literacy through offerings like ySafe and their Digital Ambassadors Program.
