Xbox Gaming Safety Toolkit now available to families, carers

Take a look!

The Xbox Gaming Safety Toolkit is now available for families and carers, making it easier for parents and caregivers to create safe places and ways to play.

The toolkit was designed with a number of Aussie partners including the eSafety Commissioner, the Australian Department of Home Affairs, the Alannah and Madeline Foundation and the Interactive Gaming and Entertainment Association (IGEA).

“We structured the toolkit into two key sections,” Microsoft said, describing the toolkit.

“The first section provides an overview of parental controls and holistic online safety tips including being involved in kids’ gaming and encouraging respectful interactions,” it continued. ” The second part of the toolkit is focused on age-specific advice with four key stages. For each age group we outline three key steps – Learn, Explore and Support. We’ve also included case studies to help bring to life the different ways that gaming risks can manifest and the types of tools that can be used to help respond to and mitigate these risks.”
