It’s World Children’s Day, and we’re spotlighting one of our most loved resources, Hector’s World. 💙

Hector’s World is Netsafe’s free animated online safety series designed for young children.

Through short, fun episodes set under the sea, Hector the dolphin and his friends help tamariki learn about:
🫧 Protecting personal information
🫧 Safe sharing
🫧 Being kind online
🫧 Asking for help when something feels wrong

It’s a trusted resource used by parents, caregivers and primary school teachers across Aotearoa, New Zealand to introduce online safety in a simple, child-friendly way.

World Children’s Day is a global reminder that every child has the right to learn, play and explore safely, including in their digital spaces.
