Clear and pragmatic with lots of opinion backed up by experience and real examples. Totally changed the way I think about online safety and my approach to it. Lots to think about and implement at school.

Incredibly informative, great balance of videos and text, lots of scenarios and examples to help the application of knowledge and a wide amount of websites and resources to use. This has been incredibly eye-opening and useful.
