    Levelling up online safety with British Esports!

    We are proud to support the British Esports Federation’s ‘Safe to Play’ campaign. In partnership with the English Football League (EFL) and backed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), this initiative is transforming how we approach digital inclusion and safeguarding.

    The campaign focuses on:

    • Empowering Youth: Helping young people build digital skills and confidence in a secure environment.
    • Duty of Care: Implementing frameworks developed with experts like the NSPCC and UNICEF UK.
    • Community Impact: Delivering workshops across 10 Football Club communities to reach disadvantaged youth.

    Esports is a powerful tool for growth, but safety must come first. Let’s ensure the next generation of gamers can compete, learn, and socialise without risk.

  • Staying Safe Online!

    Many people and businesses turn to antivirus software to stop this from happening in the first place. So that sounds good but does this actually work? In short, yes and the good news is that there are plenty of options too, including some free antivirus options. 

    When looking for antivirus it is not always about getting what you pay for that is the best option for your situation, mainly a paid-for version of antivirus software is aimed at the business sector as they would have different needs and many more users, so it makes sense for a business to pay for this service.

    The individual user can safely rely on a good free antivirus product that offers protection from phishing emails, visiting dangerous websites and of course, personal data protection, all we would say when considering any anti-virus product is to check what they offer, make sure there are no hidden charges and do what everyone does when buying a product take a look at the reviews, not just the ones on the product website.

    Google the product by using the terms antivirus software, best antivirus for PC or free antivirus and see what comes back if it works for shopping its good for antivirus software too. Not all antivirus products are equal, however, they will all offer some level of protection and in return, you can rest assured that you are protected which means you have peace of mind.
