Our Story
Our Mission: Creating a Safer Digital World for Everyone
At Safer Online, we believe that everyone deserves to benefit from technology without compromising their safety, privacy, or wellbeing. Since 2018, we’ve been at the forefront of online safety education in the UK, empowering schools, businesses, and families with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive in the digital age.
Our Story
From Concern to Action
Safer Online was founded by a team of educators, cybersecurity experts, and digital wellbeing specialists who shared a common concern: despite the growing risks online, there was a significant gap in practical, accessible education about digital safety.
What began as a grassroots initiative delivering workshops in local schools has grown into one of the UK’s leading online safety education providers. Today, our comprehensive programmes reach thousands of individuals across the country, from primary school children taking their first steps online to executives safeguarding multinational corporations.
Our growth reflects an unwavering commitment to our founding principle: that effective online safety education must be evidence-based, practical, and continuously evolving alongside technology itself.
Our Approach
Beyond Awareness: Building Digital Resilience
At Safer Online, we go beyond simply raising awareness of online risks. Our approach focuses on building lasting digital resilience—the ability to understand, adapt to, and confidently navigate the digital world even as it changes.
What Sets Us Apart:
Evidence-Based Content Our programmes are developed using the latest research and data on online risks, digital behaviour, and effective educational approaches. We continuously update our content to reflect emerging threats and platforms.
Practical, Actionable Strategies We believe in practical solutions, not fear. Our training provides clear, implementable strategies that participants can apply immediately in their digital lives.
Audience-Specific Design We recognise that online safety looks different for a 7-year-old, a teenager, a parent, a teacher, or a business professional. Our content is carefully tailored to the specific needs, contexts, and capabilities of each audience.
Positive Digital Citizenship Rather than focusing solely on risks, we promote a balanced approach that emphasises the positive potential of technology when used thoughtfully and responsibly.
Continuous Evolution The digital landscape never stands still, and neither do we. Our team constantly monitors emerging platforms, trends, and threats to ensure our guidance remains relevant and effective.
