Trusted by Schools and Leaders

First of all, I wanted to say how well received your visit was. It’s rare to have such unequivocal support for any consultant to the school, but I think your straightforward and pragmatic approach was welcomed by all those that you met.

I cannot rate this highly enough. I would urge any ICT Co-ordinator or DSL to sign up as the course tackled a range of issues, information and strategies designed to help your school cope with the demands of modern technology and communication.

The training was invaluable, not only reinforcing how successful our online safety in school is but also in providing forward-thinking ideas and opportunities. During a recent Ofsted inspection, the inspector responsible for safeguarding identified our designated online safety lead as a real strength and a contributing factor to our excellent safeguarding procedures. It is training that a member of the leadership team from every school should go on.

After careful consideration we decided to use Alan’s services in school primarily because of his in-depth knowledge and experience of using ICT in schools and online safety background. Recently Alan attended a governor’s meeting to deliver an online safety awareness session; it was clear, informative and thought-provoking.
We will continue to use Alan’s services in the future across the whole school.

Meet Alan Mackenzie

I have been delivering online safety training and support in schools, organisations, police and much more since 2007; I love technology and the huge benefits that can be realised through global connectivity. I’m a strong believer that online safety is an enabler, not a showstopper; it should not be a barrier to innovative use of technology.

I use social media, have been a gamer since my early 20’s and I love YouTube. In other words, I use all the things children and young people use; I understand their online spaces, their motivations and the language they are using, and when I’m in schools delivering online safety training or speaking at a conference this is exactly what I’m talking about.

I strongly believe that if you educate children using the spaces they engage in, they understand more, they’re more enthusiastic, they engage and therefore the likelihood of positive impact is greater.
