IM Safer cashback

imsafer is a unique, downloadable tool that keeps children safe when they chat online. Working much like a cycle helmet, imsafer lets kids get on with what they enjoy chatting and socialising with friends online, but leaves parents safe in the knowledge that they'll be immediately alerted should anything untoward happen.

Parents are aware of the need to educate children on the stranger danger message offline, and now imsafer gives parents the chance to be sure their children are as safe online, without them needing any in-depth knowledge of the internet themselves. While the risk of inappropriate grooming behaviour or bullying will be small, imsafer can give parents the peace of mind that should their child ever become the target, that imsafer will immediately identify it and trigger an alert to the parent or parents with advice on what to do next.

imsafer has been independently tested by Cambridge University and has been found to be 98.4% reliable. It is also supported by UK anti-bullying charity BeatBullying who offer Cyber Mentoring services if imsafer identifies that a child has been the victim of bullying, giving parents and children welcome support and advice.

imsafer is different to the parental controls you might see on the market. Focusing solely on chat services and social networking sites, (rather than banning websites) it subtly monitors conversations, respecting childrens privacy but keeping them safe.
