'Children, young people and privacy'
Crown Promenade Hotel, Melbourne, Friday 21 May 2010
Privacy means different things to different people. What does it means to children and young people now, and how does it affect their daily lives? We want to be able to ensure that children and young people understand the importance of protecting their privacy and personal information but recognise that successful promotional and educational strategies need to be accessible, relevant and meaningful to them.
Privacy Victoria's one-day conference aims to explore the following issues, and more:
What does privacy mean to children and young people today?
What does the law say about who can know what about children and young people?
What is the impact of the surveillance society on them?
What are the potential risks to their personal information, their health, their security and even their lives, from the use of information technologies?
What can educators, policy and law makers, parents and even young people themselves do to educate and support children and young people about privacy protection, and empower them to do what they need to protect their privacy?
Who has what role and how are those roles legitimised and disseminated?
Educators, academics, law and policy workers, youth workers, other professionals and young people are
invited to submit a paper for consideration for inclusion on the conference program
(PDF, 379Kb).
The Children, young people and privacy conference is sponsored by the
Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development
.
'[Id]entity 08': 12 November 2008, Treasury Theatre, Melbourne
Identity is at the core of privacy. You choose how much to reveal of yourself to whom. But if you cannot prove that you are who you say you are, then who are you?
Privacy Victoria's one-day conference aimed to:
Explore the meaning of "identity"
Explore the meaning of "identity management"
Explore the relationship between these terms and privacy law.
Opened by the Deputy Premier, Rob Hulls, the conference was addressed by experts from government, law enforcement and the private sector.
