Thank you to my team, to the winners and finalists and most importantly the judges (I know how hard that job is having done this before), the Novotel hotel staff (you were amazing) and everyone who put these awards together including the lighting, tech, sound and all the equipment

So last night I popped out for dinner and wouldn’t you know it I bagged myself a little (NATIONAL) award for the work I do on sharing about cyber and online issues to the public. More to follow after I have calmed down. I am working today so celebrations will have to be at the weekend.

If AI is going to become AGI and rule over us (it obviously being the incoming expert) … What will all of the current human AI experts do for a job when they are superseded?

I highly recommend Tech Smart Parenting. How to Keep Your Kids Happy & Safe Online, by Catherine Knibbs. 💛 It is a warm, down-to-Earth, straight-talking, no-nonsense book on what parents really need to know about the online spaces their children go to.

Are you ready to be judged for your choices around food? Misinformation or malinformation? …Waits to see how this new bad sugar campaign gets apportioned to the internet.

If this information is not carefully crafted and underpinned by child development theory and knowledge of ED/DE then this could become a major issue. And people pushing to ban social media may be don’t see this less than subtle “summer” TV based influencer right in the living room of the child.

are using to make room for their deeply held views, issues and ideas. Sadly this will make it to the ears of children who will repeat and regurgitate only to be met with household opinions, views and perhaps even arguments, shame and rejection. Food based issues often begin 2/N

Sharing here for traction too: Oh holy moly Joe is now taking his new approach to food to the kids. This just popped up on the news here in UK- After watching the video from James Smith about this issue I am getting more and more concerned for the agendas that specific well intended do gooders 1/N

Great to see @childrenandtech.bsky.social in the news! Play is indeed a child’s language and many people don’t want to see that for lots of children, 95+% of this play happens in online games. It’s not ideal but if we don’t meet them where they are, we won’t… www.theguardian.com/games/2025/j...

Sadly doesn’t cover online safety enough (or provide enough guidance for you) and quotes “consensual” sharing of CSAM which they refer to as the intimate images. These have been misapplied (due to being misunderstood) We must do better in helping you in Ed protect children. This has failed

Very “chuffed” to have spoken to Miesha earlier this year (#legend!) and for the episode to air when technology Christmas gifts will be a plenty, or will be used more than other weeks during the year (for lots of reasons and not because parents are “bad”) www.instagram.com/reel/DECxci5...

How will we enforce the banning of social media for children? Fines for parents or schools that are caught letting children use them? Will we criminally charge social media platforms, or parents themselves? What happens when a child gets hold of an older sibling's device?

I joined here some time ago and did not post till now. Pottered about (on here) and saw social media humans. I am amused and bemused by the narrative that this platform is so lovely. Humans will always human and the ‘social media norms ‘will dissipate on here in due course. Bets on how long?

This would be so funny to take to all of the conferences around the online space as that’s the phrase I hear there … almost all the time. I’ll grab one for my therapy office for when the smart cookies say it too… like “bosh” let’s have it.
