Cybersafety Education & Awareness
Empowering parents to understand the digital spaces their children inhabit — and equipping young people to make positive, safer choices online.
Our Mission
Since 2012, Barry and Wayne have been closing the digital gap between parents and children across the UK, Ireland and UAE — turning complex digital knowledge into practical, relatable guidance.
The digital landscape evolves faster than any parent can keep up with. We track every new app, trend and risk so you don’t have to.
Understand the signs of cyberbullying, bystanding behaviour, and how to intervene — before it escalates.
Beyond just safety — we inspire young people to use the internet as a powerful tool for creativity, connection and opportunity.

I’m going to change the way I use social and the internet overall after your session. In fact I’m deleting my Snapchat and Instagram accounts after school.
14-year-old AttendeeCranleigh Abu Dhabi
Should be compulsory for all parents to attend! Fantastic content, presented just the right way. Great sessions that our young people needed to hear, to make it real for them.
