As teens get older they are faced with more and more online safety issues. Our goal is explain the following topics so that they are prepared for what their online activity may present.
Teens enjoy being spoken to as young adults (which they are) and our internet safety talks for teens engage with students on a more casual yet serious level.
We chat about the following internet safety topics, social media platforms and how to stay safe online. Talks are delivered via Zoom to classroom or students at home with Teacher moderation. Proofing very effective for Schools, Parents and beneficial for Kids. Classes are available internationally, presented in English. We have presented over 500 talks to Schools in the Middle East, UK Ireland, Europe, Africa and even the US army in Europe.
One of the topics we speak about during our internet safety talk for teens is sexting - both children and teens are doing it, and we need to help them understand the serious implications of it.
For ages 10-12, we chat to classes about both platforms and what they have to be careful of and why these platforms pose a risk for them. Children often create multiple accounts and neglect important privacy settings. Our talks help kids understand the importance of their privacy and why it’s dangerous and "uncool” to showcase their lives online.
Former Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe really annoyed
Prime Minister, Theresa May, when she was Home Secretary. She agreed with his stance on cybercrime, but not the way he went about it. He suggested Police would be slow to investigate online security crimes where the individuals failed to take online protection seriously especially having an 'upto date' antivirus. He openly backed banks, credit card providers doing the same, not refunding customers losses. She disliked the way he went about it, she's not so so keen on the other guy in the photo below either.

Is it possible that the internet is being taken back by a silent majority who is finally making its voice heard, expressing its dismay about internet safety and the shocking content found on some platforms.
Following some menacing threats from the British Government, Health Secretary Matt Hancock pressured Facebook into announcing that Instagram would intervene and take down self-harm content.
Is this the start of something big or simply a cynical defense move?
Before we dive into our safety guidelines – we’ll briefly explain what SnapChat is and how it works. Don’t worry most parents haven’t the faintest idea what or how it works.
Social Media and the amount of time we spend online has a greater affect on our lives and mental health than we, as adults, can often comprehend.
