Thank you. The e-safety talk was brilliant last night. It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking it’s not relevant for primary school kids and as parents, burying our heads in the sand for a few more years. It is very clear this is a terrible idea as we need to be aware of the evolving risks. You have also got us parents talking so we can help support one another.

Almost didn’t log on tonight with a 15 year old who I really trust and a 10 year old I thought I was pretty aware of what’s going on but you guys always teach us something new in an ever changing world. You’re also really engaging and entertaining to listen to! Thank you

Great webinar tonight guys, plenty of interesting stuff to take on board. Although my daughter seems to spend most of her online time watching episodes of Chicago Fire, Chicago PD etc these days.

Didn’t realise you were Essex based, my old part of the world, Chipping Ongar, Brentwood, Chelmsford, Basildon, Southend on Sea were my main towns.

Thank you for an eye opening session on what our children are facing without even leaving their rooms.
It was in no way judgemental of the parents who are struggling everyday to navigate this world.

Modern & up to date advice well worth watching

The 2 johns laid back approach helps anyone listening to them take on what they are teaching without feeling like we are idiots for not knowing what our kids are listing too or playing

I didn’t know a lot of the you tubers but now i will try too

Thankyou

The most informative and useful hour and half I’ve spent as a parent since ante natal classes!
Learnt lots and now lots of settings to check!
Thank you

We’ve done this twice now – learned new things both times and definitely worth keeping doing it! Our kids are young and we’ll be back a number of times as they grow up!

An eye opening presentation. Very interesting

Thank you both for your time tonight. Although some apps not relevant at present as children not using them a insight into how to keep them safe. Very interesting detail given regarding the ‘advertiser’ and now feel informed on how this works and how to prevent this from happening.

Really useful webinar, thank you again.

brilliant stuff. loads to think , very interesting topic. definetely it open your eyes

As a team, we found the training really insightful and it allowed us to gain a better understanding of the risks on social media. We are now more aware of the ‘trends’ and the importance of keeping safe online.

Thank you so much for this valuable and insightful session tonight. I found it very useful.

It was really interesting and equally quite worrying to listen to the information shared in tonight’s webinar on e-safety. Thank you 2 Johns for being so candid about the risks that face our young people, for giving the shocking stats that affect our KS2 children in particular and to opening my eyes to just how much of a divide there is between how the children in my class live their lives online and how little I know about it. A really interesting evening. Thank you.

Really useful webinar on esafety. Particularly useful was the information on how to make internet use safer for your children, with use of the setting functions. Whilst I was familiar with some of the Apps mentioned in the presentation, it was clear that there are a lot of areas on the internet which are not as well known to parents. As with a lot of issues today, the need to communicate is paramount and the 2Johns stressed this throughout the presentation.

Just wanted to say thank you so much, I learnt so much tonight. Your presentations are great, they are both funny and informative. Thank you. I’ll be speaking to my girls about some of the issues you raised, you made me realise how important it is to talk to them and make sure they know that they won’t be in trouble for telling me about any issues.

Thank you for an informative, sensible and practical approach to online safety. You are providing a valuable service for parents as our children navigate a world that is very different to the one we grew up in.

I have just listened to your webinar and have to say how interesting and really informative it was. I learnt a lot. I naively thought I knew a lot about I being a nurse and working with young people but you really opened my eyes and I shall certainly be putting in place your suggestions with my young daughter.
A very big Thank you.

My daughters school had arranged this course for us parents/carers which has come at a good time as recently some online chats have been concerning which were reported to school.
I found the course informative and delivered clearly tonight, it highlighted some areas I was not aware of which I look into more on your website.
My daughter in year 6 came out of school today positively talking of you visiting, thank you!

Tonight’s session was really informative and scary! Thank you. I will defiantly be looking through your website and looking out for other webinars. Thank you

This was really informative and would like the Palmer Catholic School to invite you in. Being a Foster parent I feel young people, I have dealt with are very naive when active online and are easily trapped by pear on pear as you have pointed out.

Informally, but so engagingly delivered. I thought I had a good grasp of the online world but my eyes were totally opened this evening. Thank you for all the hard work!

Thank you both so much. This is the second time I have seen you do your training. I missed the staff training tonight as Zoom wouldn’t let me on, but I have just watched the parent one this evening. It has been really useful and made me aware of things to be conscious of both for my children who I teach and to help and support my own child. I will definitely be using your website (and I have followed you on twitter and Facebook!). Thank you so much for doing what you do.

The 2 Johns gave a great seminar about eSafety and how we can enforce this in schools. I learnt a lot about the aspects of the internet and online gaming that can put children in vulnerable positions. I was unaware of some of these things which I am now very grateful to understand and can ensure I apply the right support in my role as a teacher to help children to stay safe online. Thank you 2 Johns!

I have been in many on line sessions and face to face meeting. This session has been by far the best in term of informative and specialise about on line safety. As a parent and teacher, I have learnt many important and necessary skills which I am sure, it will help me to understand and help students and my children at home and school.
Thank you to both Johns for that.

I am currently on my 6th academic year working in education and have attended a lot of online safeguarding training, however ‘The 2 Johns’ training is the best I’ve ever attended. Their knowledge and experience is evident in the data and information they provide, which was was incredibly current. The sprinkle of banter also helps a lot, couldn’t recommend enough.
Thank you!

Taking part in the Webinar this morning was really eye-opening! Thank you for all the information, tips. The delivery was very refreshing with lots of banter between these two ex-undercover policemen.

Thank you both so much for todays (9/12/21) training. I’m a respite foster carer for Children with Disabilities Team in Harlow Essex. I have also recently began working as a Healthy Family Support Practitioner supporting children (& their families) aged 5-19 so this training has been fab with regard to the age groups and what is actually going on in the world of social media and gaming. So a great big thank you to you both!! The content will support me in both roles and hopefully support the children and families I’am supporting.

Thank you for the session you did tonight. I have see you live a few times and also caught a number of the live events on FB. As a parent of a 16 year old and 11 year old I can certainly say that the elder one who attended a couple of your sessions is much wiser and easier to talk about internet safety than my youngest who has seen only one. Just wished it had been more and that you could visit the Secondary school as I certainly believe that current years 7 & 8 have not got the knowledge from previous years workshops.

Good morning to the two John’s
I attended your course a few years ago at Our Lady of Ransom school Rayleigh and just wanted to say thank you very much . That night made a big impact and has definitely changed the way I parent .
My daughter is 15yrs now and has experienced inappropriate online messages and requests . Thanks to your advice she has been comfortable to share these with us and handled this extremely well . Her friends have been amazed that she has not gotten into trouble and we have been so supportive and that is largely down to your excellent advice . I just wanted to say how grateful I am and I am seeing the results in action and know how important it is to be able to guide her .
Many thanks

The online session was informative, interesting and in the end re-assuring. We recommend that every parent attend.

Thank you so much, I found this workshop so informative as I am a parent to 2 teenage boys as well as an LSA in year 6.

Thanks again

Thank you for your excellent webinar this evening. This is the second time I have attended one of your presentations (the first being in school a couple of years ago). I thought the presentation worked just as well via zoom as it did in person. Having had an older girl who has zero interest in gaming but greater interest in social media to now having the opposite with my son, the content was extremely useful to me. I will definitely be returning to your website for advice in the future. Many thanks.

Thank you very much for the excellent pupil, staff and parent workshops. I have received many positive comments from both adults and pupils . The pupil greatly enjoyed competing to be the first class to submit their answers. The content was up to date, relevant and delivered in an engaging way. I would not hesitate to recommend these sessions.

The email communication I had with you leading up to the event was excellent and you answered my (many!) questions quickly.

We shall definitely be booking again for next academic year.

An excellently engaging blend of information, real life examples and practical solutions to help parents navigate the tricky world of online independence for their children. A dynamic presentation style that kept us hooked for the full 90mins and has given us lots of food for thought. Thank you so much!

I just wanted to thank you for the E safety talk tonight. I’ve been concerned for a while about the internet and gaming sites as it’s so scary the things that are on there. I agree with you about not shaming the child and having a nurturing response if they see something inappropriate and keeping an open dialogue with the child about the dangers. Thanks again it’s really helped us to understand the dangers and what to look out for.

Thank you the 2 Johns!

What a great idea – a really informative session on such an important subject.

Incorporating pupil feedback from the school visit earlier in the day worked well and brought it home.

A must for every parent/carer.

Spent my evening trying to learn how to keep my kids safe online with the 2 Johns 🤯 it was very informative and has made me adjust my thinking on how I approach the subject. Now have some tools and research resources to go through but feeling more positive and that I have a place where I can ask questions 🙂 thank you John’s

Many thanks to The 2 John’s, for the very informative and we’ll presented webinar. As a result of watching the presentation I have started to to take more interest in my daughter’s online gaming and social media apps like tik tok. Keep up the great work gents.

Great presentation. My daughter loved it as well and recommended it to me.

Thank you for such an informative presentation! I definitely learnt so much as a professional and a mother. I will say that some of the children in my class (year 5) were a bit scared of what they learnt but I think maybe they should be a little bit! I recently did an ICT lesson with them about influencers and motive and worryingly they all thought YouTubers and influencers just showed them things because they wanted to share and were kind people. They didn’t want think about what the influencers were getting out of it. I hope they will come to me with questions that I feel I can now confidently answer. Although you did make me feel very old!!!
Anyway thank you so much again.

I was on an online session of yours recently. We are fortunate that our children’s school does amazing esafety training too. Earlier this week my daughter became suspicious of an adopt me game within Roblox as they asked for her password. Fortunately she told me and we looked at it together. We ended up reporting the game querying it’s authenticity. It has now been removed. Thank you for helping us not be ‘cliff top parents’. Thank you for the updates too. Take care.

An outstanding and highly informative e-safety session, delivered in an engaging and very interesting style. You maintained my full attention throughout – it was great. Thank you so much for sharing your extensive knowledge and experiences with us this evening.

Thank you so much for the zoom session this evening (04/02/21).

I attended a session at my son’s school a few years ago and have been sharing your advice and links ever since. Your analogies to ‘old school’ stranger danger and how we should equip our chidlren with the skills and tools to safely conduct themselves online are incredibly illuminating and so very helpful.

It was great that although many of the messages of tonight’s session crucially echoed your previous session, it was very much updated to explain the changes in games and social media and the new challenges, dangers, and indeed benefits, of online interactions during lockdowns.

As a parent – I have always tried to follow your maxim that my children should feel comfortable and able to talk to me about anything they see, hear or do online. After tonight’s session, I will give myself a good coat of looking at to see if there are some cliff top tendencies that need re-thinking…

I love the style of your delivery – it is incredibly engaging and motivating.

Thank you!

Really eye-opening stuff and essential knowledge for any parent or teacher involved with primary age children negotiating the tricky environment online where predators and the children themselves always seem to be one step ahead. Thank you for this.

Thank you for a very informative presentation.
It’s really refreshing to see how up to date you are and how your presentations change. I’ve learnt lots, especially as mine are online lots more.
Thanks again.

I joined this webinar as a parent, following your session at my sons school and their promotion of this event. As a computing teacher of 15 years   ( secondary and currently juniors) I have previously attended your face-to-face events, numerous CEOP training courses and have on line safety training sessions with other providers annually, but I have to say this on line one was amazing !
It really dealt with the current issues and offered practical advice for parents. You covered so much content in the 90 minutes – it was non stop ! I have made 6 pages of notes that I can pass onto colleagues, parents and most importantly our children. A huge thank you from me.

We have just attended your E-safety Webinar for Parents and Carers provided by Safer Basildon. We have never attended a talk on this subject matter before, and thought the content, format and presentation was excellent. We appreciated your accessible approach to subject matter which is both terrifying and daunting to parents, like us, who grew up in the 80s and 90s.

Providing screenshots and clear examples of how to change the settings in apps and on websites was incredibly helpful. The “Clifftop Parent” description was something that struck a chord with us and has motivated us to ensure that we continue to communicate, build trust and provide context for our children. You were absolutely right to point out that the world of online dangers is not just paedophiles, but gangs and drugs too – please keep reminding people that it is not just men in white vans offering sweets! Also always mention the geolocation details on photos, it’s worrying how easy it is to pinpoint exactly where you are and we had no idea. Advertising your car online was a brilliant demonstration. We also thought the example of using a football match to explain context was memorable too.

Our takeaway from your thought-provoking webinar is that technology is ingrained in our children’s lives, whether we like it or not. In order to be the best parents we can, we need to work together with them rather than denying them access. The Snapchat example with your daughter really helped to get these points across. We would rather be educated than burying our heads in the sand, and your talk has really helped us work towards that goal.

Please keep up the excellent work in an ever-evolving world, we really appreciate it. We will definitely be sharing your website with our friends and family.

Thank you guys. This was immensely useful session to me.

I didn’t realise some of the risks that some of the games and social media apps mentioned posed. Thanks for explaining this in a very accessible way.

Just wanted to say thanks for a fascinating presentation this evening and a really impressive day at Stanway Fiveways, lots of great feedback from teachers and kids.

I wear two hats as the Chair of Governors and a parent with kids at the school. My two were full of things they’d taken on board from your sessions with them today and my wife and I were horrified and intrigued in equal measures with our presentation from you this evening.

I hadn’t heard of Omegle and am grateful for the warning.

I’ve changed my view about TikTok now and might actually allow our son to download it but with the settings you recommended.

Really insightful day and evening guys, thank you very much.

Gents,

Thanks for all the useful information you shared with us this evening. We have found it very helpful indeed and will definitely tune in to the next broadcast in a months time.
Love the educate and nurture approach, rather than the jurassic approach! This is exactly how we want to be but there was so much we didn’t know or realise. Very eye-opening.
Keep up the good work!!

What a great session. It opened my eyes to a lot more than I had understood and how my child is exposed even with the kids games online
