“e-safety should never be a barrier to innovative use of technology in school”

For many years I was the e-safety lead at Lincolnshire County Council, Children’s Services; raising many initiatives across all schools, police, the voluntary sector and others with positive outcomes and a significant increase in awareness.

Working at the local authority allowed me to take a more strategic view of school needs, particularly in regards to policy and liabilities. I have a very deep understanding of the technology used in schools whether for curriculum or administration purposes; this includes services such as internet filtering, new collaborative tools such as social networking and the use of new technology such as tablet devices.

I am a strong believer that e-safety is an enabler, not a showstopper; e-safety should never be a barrier to innovative use of technology in your school.

With years of experience working in and for schools, as a CEOP Ambassador and an associate member of the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS), all training is delivered to fit your needs, not my assumptions.

Guardian Article: I was recently pleased to be featured in The Guardian (July 2012) for an e-safety article. You can read this article HERE.
