Creating safe online spaces with the Liaura App

As Australia bans social media for under 16 years and more question the safety of the online world, at Seqrd Tech we wanted to consider an alternative way that helps prepare young people for a future world that will be very online. Enter the Liaura app, guardian-managed, to create a safe digital space for children and vulnerable users. In today's episode, my guest Hugh Shepherd, CEO and founder of Liaura, shares his personal journey, highlighting the challenges he faced growing up and how these experiences fuelled his passion for developing a secure digital environment. Listen to our conversation around the dangers of current social media platforms, need for reasonable discussions in the middle to avoid dismissing some of the excellent benefits of technology, and the innovative features of Liara that prioritise child safety and healthy digital interactions. Particularly how the app aims to foster self-directed learning and goal setting among children, providing a safe and engaging environment.

Digital Literacy: should it be an essential part of the curriculum?

While today's students in schools are often labelled digital natives, they frequently lack critical understanding of digital tools and environments. In today's episode, my guests Arabella Chute, Head of Thinking School, and Lella Kirkland, Head of Digital Learning Strategy, both at Notting Hill Prep, discuss how schools can effectively integrate digital literacy with metacognitive skills to create thoughtful, resilient digital citizens who can navigate online spaces safely and purposefully. A big ask, you might think, but join us as we hear about some of those practical steps they've taken and what was their catalyst. Listen to what they have to say about digital literacy being everyone's responsibility, what are the metacognitive tools and skills our students need, engaging parents as partners for digital safeguarding and Lella and Arabella's vision to integrate digital learning effectively in every classroom.

Being a parent expert is a challenging job and you might not be sure where to start or if all your decisions are going to end with your child's tech addiction or other such problems. Thankfully, we're joined by Alice Reid, Laura Toursoulopoulos and George Juer, all parents who have been actively navigating the digital journey alongside their children and share some of the valuable insights they've gathered along the way. Listen to what they have to say about communication, the importance of role modelling, setting boundaries and rules, and also tools that they found have actually helped, as well as other things that they've learned along the way.
