Internet Safety Rules of the Road. Time limits
We provide in person talks for schools, primary and secondary, either in person or in the lower-cost Zoom based option. Updated for 2022. Book now.
From 4 years of age upwards, we help kids, teens, schools and parents. We help people to be safe, to have fun and be the best version of themselves online, enjoying social media, gaming and their experiences online.
In 2022, the internet portals and companies want to keep their COVID-19 gains and profits. So the challenge is tougher than before.
We provide sensible easy to follow path to online safety, no rocket science, just common sense.
Going into 2023, we have spoken to parents, students in nearly 30 countries worldwide, including the UK, Ireland, Romania, Switzerland, France & USA. Subject to COVID-19 guidelines, we can provide speakers in person.
We know that Teachers, Schools, Boards and Parents are already doing a great job with little help from anyone. We are here to help.
During our interactive child safety talks, we share current internet safety facts and useful tips to stay safe online.
Most children are familiar with basic internet safety rules however, these are simply not enough to keep them safe online. Our talks re-enforce the necessity to follow these rules and create awareness about the latest issues facing their internet safety.
It’s vitally important that we teach kids about the internet and its magnitude from as young as possible.
Children who are taught how to use the internet safely;
Primary
We provide online safety speakers to Primary School worldwide in person and via Zoom. As kids, this is exactly the right time to instil the best habits online for phone addiction, gaming and social media.
Our online safety talks provide fresh ideas for students and teachers alike. For booking and details: Primary Schools
Senior
Age graded content appropriate for teenagers. Younger teenagers need different messaging to older teenagers. We have very different content for younger teenagers as opposed to older teenagers. Online reputational is too big an issue for most 13 year whereas warnings about sexting would be very relevant.
We always give it to teenagers in a powerful, impactful way backed by authentic examples from the real world. We make sure teenagers understand the law surrounding online activity and the increasing power of the Police in tackling these abuses. For example, if a teenager simply hands over his/her phone to the police, that can be deemed as permission to digitally strip the phone. For booking and details: Senior Schools
Parents
No longer the forgotten man, we spoke to thousands of parents on Zoom during COVID-19 lockdown. We explain how social media works, what you can do, how to teach your kids to win online. Can technology like parental control make a difference? What problems are typical for each age group. Gaming, Social Media, Sexting, Bullying, What is the right amount of time online for kids and adults alike. For booking and details: Parents
We speak to Parents Groups. We talk to parents before School, lunchtime or in the Evening. Some parents are baffled by phones, Social Media and really hate Snapchat. Everything is clearly explained. Finally, we pass on many tips and tricks for phone addicted kids.
Just wanted to drop you a quick e-mail to say thank you so much. For us, I would say that was a really good turn out of parents- probably a third of families there. There is so much to get through and I think that will have been a really helpful summary. Thanks again.
Just completed the Zoom session with the guys from BeSecureOnline for #SID2021. TikTok, Snapchat, Gaming and more, we have several ideas we are implementing immediately we are we are tightening up school guidelines on social media, gaming and digital wellbeing. Well done and Thank you. Parents loved the simple messaging for the kids
"Myself, and the senior classes of Strabraggan N.S. just attended the BeSecure Online zoom talk. The talk was very informative and proved very beneficial for the children. It was clear they learned some important information and ways to stay safe while using apps and online websites. I would definitely recommend the talk to other students and teachers.
Spoke to over 300 parents, every child in the school from 7 years of age, we were very happy with the talks, and recommend their service strongly
I think the children enjoyed the sessions too from the feedback I got. Thank you so much for giving the talks, great to hear about the behaviour.

Parents and I thought you were engaging; it became apparent when we unmuted our mics, for everyone to share their gratitude. It has since made me consider many more app settings. I am happy to recommend your services. With appreciation for your engagement, and until next time. Feb 2021.

Excellent Speakers, very effective. Thoroughly informative, one of the best Speakers we've ever invited. We are passing this advise through to staff and footballers alike. We’ve booked them to give a presentation to our Euro squad this summer.

Organised crime, decent proper criminals have made cybercriminals an offer they can't refuse, they want in on the act and they want a big slice of the action. They'll provide local muscle, a real threat on the ground, threatening families and kids directly.

Passwords are dead or are they?. Most people have 300 + apps passwords and there are other technologies but passwords are going to be here a while longer.

The decision to pay a ransomware demand is a huge one. Is it safe? Will we get access to our systems again if we pay? Should I negotiate? Will they come again for more money? Will we survive financially? What are the other unknown risks?

CyberSecurity Awareness Training builds the best cyber security you can get, a human firewall. People who know what they doing, what links not to click, staff who don't open suspicious emails, and staff who are sharp to the possibility of phishing, and malware. Staff who won't harm the organisation.

I used to be insecure until I saw my password. No more cats' names, Birthdays are great but are not passwords. CR7 is an ageing footballer, not a password. Iloveyou, maybe but not a password.

You can be much smarter than Basil Fawlty and still get hit by some incredibly smart cyber-scams. Phishing, Smishing, Vishing, and Ransomware targeting you all day and night on every channel. Email, Texts, Phone calls. Arm yourself & your staff. Fight back with awareness training.

Let's face it, for most people, a job is just a job, do the work, get paid, repeat. They have other things to do, to worry about, The employer's IT system is not one of them. So for 95% who don't care as you do, awareness training might be the only way.
