Unfazed And Ready
Anjiie Webster, Founder Generation Online. Unfazed and Ready\ Navigating online incidents and managing regulatory, pastoral, and community needs. Navigating the complexities of harmful incidents involving digital technologies can be daunting. It may feel like you need the skills of a paramedic, the calm insights of an international referee, and the support of an army-sized team. From students to staff, the impact of these incidents can be far-reaching and challenging.   The diversity of online issues and incidents spans from primary-aged students’ social jostling and conflict through to serious and illegal activities in which students, community, and/or staff maybe involved.
