Evidence-based keynotes on online harm and human behaviour in a digital world — from the practitioner who wrote the research.
Enquire about datesMost speakers on online safety repeat the headlines. Catherine wrote the research behind them. Her speaking blends neuroscience, attachment theory and 25+ years in and around technology — for boards, staff rooms, parents or parliaments.
Her recently completed PhD examined children aged 7–10 who viewed violence and gore online — finding 10 of 16 children showing signs of stress and trauma comparable to a post-traumatic stress diagnosis. This is the evidence your audience has not heard, from the person who gathered it.
The real cost of online life. What digital life is doing to the human nervous system — and why every organisation that builds, regulates or relies on technology needs to understand it.
Why current frameworks miss the mark. What children and adults actually experience online, where existing frameworks fail, and what evidence-led practice looks like.
Building a digital practice that protects. How to run safe, ethical, legally sound practice in a digital world.
