Olwyn Beresford

Olwyn worked in the software industry for many years as a trainer, consultant and product manager, combining her technical (B.Sc. Computers) and business skills (MBA). As a mother of four she gained first hand experience of the challenges that parents face today in keeping their children safe online. Olwyn volunteered for Extern Problem Gambling, where she took a particular interest in reducing gaming and gambling related harms for young people, and was a regular guest blogger for CyberSafeKids before joining the trainer team at the start of 2020. She greatly enjoys her role today as a content creator and trainer for CyberSafeKids, which enables her to assist children, parents, teachers and organisations, to develop vital digital media literacy skills. Olwyn is based in the (occasionally sunny!) south east of the country.
