Hey Parents,
I'm Kristi, an ex-child abuse detective and I’m here to help make your job as a parent EASIER when it comes to online safety for your kids.
Are you the parent of a mini me or two and struggling to work out the best way to protect your kids whilst they play and learn online? Are you completely OVERWHELMED with ALL the information being thrown at you?
Keeping our kids safe online isn’t as hard as you might think.
As the mum of a teenager, as well as being an ex-police officer and child abuse detective, I know just how overwhelming keeping up with the risks of online safety are for parents in this busy world. I also know that good communication and some useful tools in your parenting tool belt, will make all the difference when it comes to our kids and online safety!
Are you:
-
Overwhelmed with all the information and STUFF out there about online safety?
-
Struggling with how and what to talk to your kids about when tackling tricky topics like online grooming, stranger danger and what to watch out for whilst online?
-
Wishing you knew exactly what experts want you to know without diving through all the other stuff online?
The internet is like a pool...
In order to keep your kids safe in the online pool (so to speak), you need to: 1) put up a fence so they can't accidentally get in, 2) teach them 'how to swim' online so they know how to keep their heads above water and stay afloat online and; 3) supervise them so that you can be there 'just in case' anything happens.
In this course, you get everything I know about device safety from my time in the Police and as an online safety educator, all-in-one course, so you can learn at your own pace, from the comfort of your own home.
In Device Safety 101 parents will learn:
☑️ Exactly what risks your kids are facing online and how online groomers target kids

Who is Kristi?
Kristi spent 10 years in the police force as a specialist child interviewer and a detective senior constable. When she retired from the force, Kristi believed there was a better way to help.
By taking a proactive, preventative focused approach, rather than a reactive approach, she could help prevent child abuse in the first instance and hopefully break the cycle of trauma, that victims are so often subjected to.
In addition to her experience in the force, Kristi has appeared on TV and was an Online Safety Specialist. During this role, she presented to schools’ students from years 3-12 about staying safe online. She has also presented to many parents and teachers during this time.
More than just a presenter, Kristi is a facilitator - driving the message and bringing experts together. She is passionate about keeping kids safe and isn’t afraid to keep it real and authentic.
Kristi wrote and released the book, 'Operation KidSafe - a detective's guide to child abuse prevention' in August 2022, in which she outlined and shared her extensive knowledge and advice on child sexual abuse. The book includes advice on how to identify red flags, warning signs and potential unsafe situations for families and children. Kristi also emphasises the importance of comprehensive body safety education and how to teach it to your children.
Kristi's belief is that the only way to stop child abuse from occurring is if we stop ignoring it, raise awareness and educate. We need to see it, hear it and get the message out in every way.
This is why CAPE-AU was founded. To provide an educational service for parents, caregivers and organisations around child protection and abuse prevention.
Kristi lives and breathes child abuse prevention. When she's not talking about it she spends time with her FIFO husband, fur-babies and 15yo daughter.
Kristi is a country kid at heart growing up in the Pilbara, but is now located in the South West of Western Australia. She loves reading, going for beach swims and dolphin spotting.
