A Day in the Life of a SSO Volunteer
Feedback from Teachers
“The Safe and Secure Online initiative is
an outstanding program that engages
kids and helps them to recognize the
potential dangers on the Internet. It’s
the best program I’ve ever seen in all
my years of teaching.”
“Made them realise the seriousness
of chatting…it’s good for outsiders
to present to them.”

A Day in the Life of a SSO Volunteer
Feedback from Students (12yrs)
“It gave us a lot of good information and told
us that we should think before we do
something on the Internet ... The film helped
me understand as it showed reality, and
that it might be happening to you.”
“I will put the websites (for help)
on my favourites.”

A Day in the Life of a SSO Volunteer
Feedback from Volunteer
“I feel that every single child that we manage to protect
though [this] initiative is an immense and immeasurable
achievement considering the increasing threats of
paedophiles, pornography, violence,
financial fraud, etc. through electronic highways
(Internet and smart-phones).
Of course in many ways, Internet is also the most
convenient and rich means for learning, and our
intentions are to incorporate the safe conduct
at an early age.”
