On Saturday June 15, officers from the North Brisbane District held the second event of their 12-month project, Sisters Stepping Forward, at the Lutwyche mosque/masjid.
Sisters Stepping Forward was initiated by North Brisbane Police Liaison Officer, Amam Sharman, who identified a gap in connections and relationships between the QPS and female members of local mosques in Lutwyche and Bald Hills.
The project is aimed at bridging the gap, establishing strong relationships, enhancing awareness and sharing knowledge between Muslim women, the Queensland Police Service and the wider community.
During Saturday’s event, officers presented a Cyber safety session, by delivering the Australian Federal Police package, ThinkUKnow.
Although the presentation is focused on what young people see, do and say online, the presentation aims to empower parents and carers with the confidence they need to help guide children and young people to stay safe online.
The presentation covered different topics including:
Apps used by young people;
Challenges associated with technology
