PROGRAM BACKGROUND. The eSafety Commissioner is appointed by the Commonwealth Government under the Enhancing Online Safety Act 2015, to promote online safety for all Australians. The Commissioner’s functions include supporting, conducting, accrediting and evaluating online safety education programs. The Commissioner also has specific powers aimed at combatting cyberbullying and non-consensual sharing of intimate images. The TEP program has been developed by eSafety to: • provide schools with the confidence to select from a range of trusted online safety providers with consistent messaging, appropriate experience and quality content • ensure that the functions and resources of the eSafety Commissioner are understood and accessed more broadly across Australian schools • bring providers together to work collaboratively to share insights, information, knowledge and best practice through a facilitated Community of Practice (CoP). This information has been developed to assist potential TEPs to determine whether their content may be suitable for inclusion in the program and where necessary refine their programs prior to submitting an application.
