DLTV: Safer Internet Day discussion with leading experts

Posted By: Kate RussellPosted date: February 12, 2015

This month’s DigiLeadersTV fell on the same day as Safer Internet Day, an annual event celebrated in over 100 countries that highlights the positive uses of technology and explores the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community. We were very lucky to snag Will Gardner, CEO of Childnet International, for our discussion as he is one of the people spearheading the event in the UK so his day was completely packed with interviews and commentary spots. I was also thrilled to welcome to the panel, Josie Fraser, who leads on ICT strategy and sustainable investment for Leicester City Council’s £380million Building Schools for the Future program, and Tony Neates, who is CEO of Get Safe Online and has 20 years experience in the police force.

The edited 15 minute version is below, and you can watch the entire 45 minute discussion plus previous episode on the DigiLeaders Youtube channel.
