Global safety by design tools

 Launch of global safety by design tools by Nextdoor and the Australian eSafety

Nextdoor's mission is to foster a kinder world in which everyone has a neighborhood to rely on, and it's crucial to remember that creating healthy and respectful communities is just as important online as it is outside. That's why we've spent the last year engaging with Australia's eSafety Office on their new Safety by Design evaluation tools, which were released globally today.

The new Safety by Design tools are intended to assist, support, and educate all employees and employers to integrate safety into the culture, ethos, and operations of their enterprises.

We encourage all of our neighbors who want to improve online safety to go through the Safety by Design evaluation flow to identify where they can make a difference.

According to Julie Inman-Grant, Australia's eSafety Commissioner, "Safety by Design is a global program — designed with industry for the industry." Nextdoor's assistance in developing our assessment tools has proven invaluable to eSafety. 

The fact that Nextdoor was already demonstrating a commitment to Safety by Design by aiming to propagate kindness rather than toxicity and to build a supportive and safe atmosphere for their members pleased us the most. 

At Nextdoor, this vision and action came straight from the top and pervaded the entire business. all the way!"

As a Safety by using Design partner, we assisted the eSafety Office in shaping the evaluation equipment and supplied perception and help during the improvement process. As you progress through the flow, you'll come across various Nextdoor films that provide advice on what you can do as employees or employers to assist create a safer online world.

"At Nextdoor, we understand that safety by design is essential to establish a platform that connects neighbors and builds better, more resilient communities." We see the Australian eSafety Office's efforts as best in class, and we are glad to collaborate today and in the future." -Sarah Friar, CEO of Nextdoor

We look forward to continuing to collaborate with the eSafety Office and encourage everyone to use their Safety by Design tools now.
