This episode is a little different. Instead of a typical conversation or topic deep dive, I’m sharing the full replay of a recent Online Safety Leadership Briefing I delivered for schools. It was created for headteachers, DSLs, safeguarding leads and governors, and the aim was simple: to give a clear, current picture of what children are really experiencing online in 2025.

You will hear the full session exactly as it was delivered, including the live Q&A at the end. The content is practical, honest and designed to help schools understand the fast moving risks around AI chatbots, deepfakes, gaming platforms, nudify apps, social media trends and online exploitation. It also highlights how these behaviours are showing up in classrooms and pastoral teams every day, along with ideas for improving parent engagement and whole school safeguarding.

Please be aware that this episode includes discussion of sensitive topics including self harm, online grooming, sextortion and harmful content. Nothing graphic is described, but listener discretion is advised.

If you work in education or safeguarding, this will give you a strong overview of the issues shaping online safety right now and practical steps you can start to build into your approach.
