What is the Keeping Your Identity Safe Teachers Toolkit?
The Keeping Your Identity Safe program was created to teach teenagers how to safeguard their personal information.
As adolescents in years 9-12 start to receive their first forms of identification, such as Photo Cards, Driver Licences and Medicare cards, they become susceptible to identity theft and fraud.
Teachers Toolkit
The program offers a comprehensive toolkit to equip teenagers with the knowledge and tools they need to protect their identification documents, including:
Educational materials
Clear and concise information on online safety, privacy and more.
Fun activities
Interactive exercises to engage teens in learning and encourage them to think about safe ways to interact with services online.
Practical tips
Simple steps teenagers can take to keep their personal information safe, such as creating strong passphrases and enabling Multi-Factor Authentication.
Companion support
A step-by-step guide designed to support teachers, schools and youth groups as they deliver the program.
