16 - The Dangerous Rise of GCSE Revision Influencers
<p>Exam season can already feel overwhelming for young people and their families, but there’s another pressure building in the background: the flood of revision advice, “grade 9 hacks”, predicted papers and AI-generated study content taking over teenagers’ social media feeds.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Anna explores the growing world of GCSE and A-level revision influencers, and why so much of the content being pushed to students online can be misleading, unrealistic or simply wrong.</p><p><br></p><p>From unverified exam predictions and impossible revision schedules to dangerous advice around sleep, diet and productivity, this episode looks at the emotional impact this content can have on young people already under pressure.</p><p><br></p><p>Anna also explores:</p><p>• the rise of educational influencers on TikTok and Instagram</p><p>• how algorithms are shaping what students see online</p><p>• why AI-generated revision content can be risky if used incorrectly</p><p>• how social media can fuel anxiety and feelings of “not doing enough”</p><p>• what parents should look out for during exam season</p><p>• where to find reliable, trustworthy revision support instead</p><p><br></p><p>Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that wellbeing comes before grades, and that no exam result defines a child’s worth or future.</p><p><br></p><p>A must-listen for parents, carers and anyone supporting children through SATs, GCSEs or A-levels this year.</p><p></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">Learn more or get support: </span><a href="https://www.screen-safe.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">www.screen-safe.co.uk</a></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">Send me an instant voicemail : </span><a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/screensafe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/screensafe</a></p><p>Send me an email : <a href="mailto:anna@screen-safe.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">anna@screen-safe.co.uk</a></p>

16 - Deepfakes, AI and Children: What Parents Need to Know Now
<p>This episode explores the growing risk of AI-generated deepfakes and non-consensual intimate images, and what this means for children and families.</p><p><br></p><p>Anna explains how easily realistic images and videos can now be created using widely available apps, often without technical skill, age checks, or safeguards. While much public attention has focused on one platform, the reality is that hundreds of tools already exist that allow people to manipulate images, remove clothing, or generate explicit content of real people without consent.</p><p><br></p><p>Crucially, this is not just about adults harming children. Increasingly, these tools are being used in child-on-child abuse, bullying, blackmail, and sextortion. Even creating or requesting these images, whether shared or not, can now constitute a criminal offence.</p><p><br></p><p>The episode also highlights a second major risk: AI chatbots. Many children and teenagers are using chatbots as confidants, friends, or emotional support, often without adults realising. Unlike trusted adults, these tools cannot safeguard, escalate concerns, or protect young people. In some cases, they have actively provided harmful or inappropriate advice.</p><p><br></p><p>The key message for parents and carers is clear: this is a fast-moving space, and nobody is expected to know everything. What matters most is keeping conversations open, calm, and ongoing so children feel safe to speak up, ask questions, and seek real human support.</p><p></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">Learn more or get support: </span><a href="https://www.screen-safe.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">www.screen-safe.co.uk</a></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">Send me an instant voicemail : </span><a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/screensafe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/screensafe</a></p><p>Send me an email : <a href="mailto:anna@screen-safe.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">anna@screen-safe.co.uk</a></p>

15 - The 2025 Online Risks Update for Schools (Replay)
<p>This episode is a little different. Instead of a typical conversation or topic deep dive, I’m sharing the full replay of a recent Online Safety Leadership Briefing I delivered for schools. It was created for headteachers, DSLs, safeguarding leads and governors, and the aim was simple: to give a clear, current picture of what children are really experiencing online in 2025.</p><p><br></p><p>You will hear the full session exactly as it was delivered, including the live Q&A at the end. The content is practical, honest and designed to help schools understand the fast moving risks around AI chatbots, deepfakes, gaming platforms, nudify apps, social media trends and online exploitation. It also highlights how these behaviours are showing up in classrooms and pastoral teams every day, along with ideas for improving parent engagement and whole school safeguarding.</p><p><br></p><p>Please be aware that this episode includes discussion of sensitive topics including self harm, online grooming, sextortion and harmful content. Nothing graphic is described, but listener discretion is advised.</p><p><br></p><p>If you prefer to watch the full video recording, it is available here: <a href="https://youtu.be/nVVZ-3afg70" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/nVVZ-3afg70</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you work in education or safeguarding, this will give you a strong overview of the issues shaping online safety right now and practical steps you can start to build into your approach.</p><p></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">Learn more or get support: </span><a href="https://www.screen-safe.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">www.screen-safe.co.uk</a></p><p><span style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 255);">Send me an instant voicemail : </span><a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/screensafe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.speakpipe.com/screensafe</a></p><p>Send me an email : <a href="mailto:anna@screen-safe.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">anna@screen-safe.co.uk</a></p>
