Why WEB-SAFE?

As a parent I found myself talking about online vs real world behaviour when  I noticed my daughter texting at 2.00am. She was completely disinhibited about her choice to message someone in the middle of the night. This led me on a journey to unpick disinhibition online.

In an increasingly complex digital world, getting online safety education right for our children seems to be an ever growing challenge.

Our mission at BE WEB-SAFE is to transform our digital landscape by educating adults and children about the way in which their brains behave online, to empower them. We provide training about ONLINE DISINHIBITION alongside suite of online safety resources for schools and businesses, giving all the tools needed to transform digital culture. Our aspiration is that when our children enter the adult world they will be surrounded by, and immersed in, a conversation built on being WEB-SAFE®, one digital footstep at a time.

• Create a proactive WEB-SAFE® culture that engages all stakeholders and supports positive online mental health and well-being.
• Empower staff, children and families to understand how their brain works differently (disinhibited) in a digital world.
• Embed a system of strong safety practices to mitigate risk at work, school and home.
• Ensure compliance with a checklist of best practice, attaining the WEB-SAFE® Gold Standard. 
• Role-model WEB-SAFE® behaviour when interacting with an education establishment.
• Enhance the delivery of your duty to safeguard children online and face to face in school.
