"BeSecureOnline" visited our school on Friday 7th February 2020. He gave a very informative and interesting talk to the children to help them to identify and prevent possible risks to themselves online. He presented it in a child-friendly manner and was familiar with the social media sites the children were using. It was most enlightening and I highly recommend his services to other schools".

Delighted to have welcomed BeSecureonline on #SID2020. Thanks for a great job done, spoke to all our kids. The new content was much more than 'stranger danger', made the kids & teachers think. Cleverly done!

The Sun Newspaper in London has issued a stark investigation about TikTok, suggesting it is completely unfit for purpose for children, whilst the article is poorly written, there is a strong grain of truth in it.

The problem is quite simple. TikTok’s minimum age is 13, Tiktok does nothing during the sign-up process to check - meaning huge numbers of children join below the required age with no legal protection. TikTok also serves adverts and recommendations which may not be suitable for children. Families will find it is difficult to contact TikTok to get videos taken down.
Even truthful 13-year-olds are then given an option to make their accounts public.
