Fantastic day in Portstewart, thank-you so much for having me!

For Safer Internet Day @StranBelfast and @SafeguardingNI are launching a survey seeking the views of young people about their experiences online. It takes under 20mins to complete and is the perfect way to kick off your #SID activity. ctt.ec/eqiCH+ #GrowingUpOnlineNI

Great morning at Bloomfield Primary School with pupils also from St Malachy's facilitating our #ThriveAcademy #digitalresilience workshops #sharededucation @CASEshared

No parent should ever have to endure what Ian Russell and his family have been through. They have been so incredibly brave. Online safety for our children and young people needs to be a prerequisite, not an afterthought. W

Brilliant afternoon with 6th form - thanks for having me!

@dunclugcollege Thanks so much for having me - and for the pupils for participating so enthusiastically in the workshops!
