Own Your Online advice now available in more accessible formats
Everyone deserves access to practical advice that helps them stay secure online. We’ve launched accessible versions of two of our most popular guides, making it easier for more New Zealanders to access trusted online safety information.
Our mission is to empower all New Zealanders with the knowledge they need to protect themselves online.
That’s why, with support from the Ministry of Disabled People – Whaikaha, we’ve created alternate formats of two of our most popular online safety guides.
These resources are designed to make our advice more accessible for people who are blind or have low vision, are Deaf or hard of hearing, have learning disabilities, or simply prefer to access information in different ways.
Everyone should be able to find practical, easy-to-understand guidance to help them stay safe online.
