TAPwrap

Is social media a threat to kids? Are video games a menace to everyone? Does “digital self-harm” really exist? And what is actually working to improve online safety in Australia and New Zealand?   Right in the Head heads right into Sydney for Online Safety: On The Edge, hosted by the Office of the eSafety Commissioner and Netsafe New Zealand. It’s a triple-decker conference with the lot, and we break down the schedule, highlights, conundrums, and big ideas emerging around issues of online safety and threat management.   Then we wonk out with UNICEF’s Daniel Kardefelt-Winther, over research, evidence-based practice, gaming, and what everyone should know about the Global Kids Online Project.   Show notes and links:  

  In the first episode of TAPwrap, we talk with Dr Michael Davis, forensic clinical psychologist and specialist in the assessment of sexual deviance and paraphilic behaviours.   In a discussion ranging from campus violence and vicarious trauma, to historical texts and working nude, our presenters cover (or uncover), places, people and practices in contemporary threat assessment.   Audio quality is a work in progress, and we look forward to cleaner sound plus some atmospheric music in future episodes!
