The breadth of issues classified within e-safety is considerable, but can be categorised into three areas of risk: content-being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material contact-being subjected to harmful online interaction with other users conduct-personal online behaviour that increases the likelihood of, or causes, harm."
