Secondly, we provide training for school/organisation staff and BOM members outlining the main challenges social media presents for schools/organisations and how to deal with same.
Thirdly, we provide advice and guidance for parents/carers and members of the community in safeguarding their children online.
All talks are tailored towards the target audience, individual needs of the school/organisation and the educational/experience level of the students. See some of the organisations we have worked with.
“Every school should have this talk and every parent should hear it too.....As a Principal I will be inviting Dr. Griffin back on a regular basis.....The feedback from students, parents and teachers was phenomenal. This talk is a must for our students and our parents and teachers. Dr. Griffin certainly knew her topics and her presentation is an eye opener for us all”
Child Protection
MGMS Training provides child protection awareness training, with a specific focus on online behaviours and social media, for professionals and organisations responsible for the care and protection of children. We have worked with HSE organisations such as Child Protection & Welfare; Youth Services; Fostering Department; Autism Services; Children Services.
As each professional/organisation is faced with its own unique set of challenges, talks are tailored towards the specifics of the organisation and the children involved.
“Some while ago Maureen made a presentation to staff in our Department (including Team leaders, Social Workers, family Support Workers, Principal Social Workers).
All found it to be very informative, insightful, and of significant relevance to us, due to the nature of activity involved in Child Protection Social Work. Her work is highly recommended, particularly in this time of great expansion in, and exposure to Social Media.

“. . . . She came home from school on Thursday evening utterly preoccupied with you and the talk you had given that day. Apparently all the girls spent the remainder of the day discussing you, your job, the brilliant talk etc. . . . .Thank you so much. It is refreshing to hear of inspirational speakers in a 16 year olds life. You certainly made a huge and fantastic impact on these young girls lives and gave them plenty of food for thought. ”
