Alan Mackenzie delivers clear, pragmatic, up-to-date and relevant advice & guidance in the ever-changing world of e-safety and online safety.
He became a CEOP Ambassador about 10 years ago, which was a great starting point, but there is far more to e-safety; the concept of digital citizenship is growing in impetus, the world is changing, technology is diversifying at an extraordinary rate and the use of technology by children is growing massively. Whilst e-Safety is predominantly about safeguarding, the wider aspects of ‘online safety’ are really starting to come to the fore which take into account more emotional, behavioural and usage aspects of technology.
Alan is an associate member of the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) and also partners with other companies and charities who share the same ethos in order to spread the word that e-Safety is something that can be positive and empowering.
He has worked with hundreds of schools all across England speaking to students about their online life; to parents helping them understand what many see as a minefield; to staff about their responsibilities and raising their awareness and to senior leaders and governors ensuring that the school is inspection compliant.
He also likes to get involved with projects on behalf of other companies and charities to lend a helping hand, which includes reviewing new products on the market to advise on any e-safety or safeguarding issues, writing whitepapers or articles on a range of different subjects, or to get involved and advise on new educational initiatives by others, and speaking at many conferences.
He provides many free resources for schools including free newsletters for staff and parents.
