Brett Lee is the creator of Internet Safe Education (formerly INESS -- Internet Education & Safety Services). Their mission is to equip and educate young Australians with the skills and knowledge to enable them to use the internet safely whilst making them aware of their rights and responsibilities in the cyberworld.
Brett has worked as a Queensland police Officer for 22 years, 16 of those as a Detective in the field of Child Exploitation. In the 5 years prior to his retirement from the QPS, he was a specialist in the field of internet child exploitation investigations. In 2001, in his role as a Detective, Brett delivered an internet safety presentation to students. It was then that he realised the key to protecting the most vulnerable people in our society, our children, from online dangers was education. This realisation fuelled a passion that led to the creation of INESS which has reached over 200,000 thousand students, teachers and parents spreading the message of awareness and responsibility.
Brett has been personally involved in the online investigation, arrest and prosecution of numerous offenders whose medium for preying on children is the internet.
Brett also conducts valuable cybersafety sessions for school leavers. These sessions are entitled Digital Life Skills 4 School Leavers and are designed to prepare our young adults for the real world issues they will face in their continuing online world.
Brett has recently published an online book called Screen Resolution for teachers, parents and carers. It has received a 5 Star Readers Favourite Award. Click here for more details: https://aurorahouse.com.au/books-new/screen-resolution/

New Course for Teachers:
Dealing with Radicalisation of Students
Over his 22 years as an Internet Detective, Brett spent thousands of hours tracking online predators. He closely watched the ways they groomed their targets, and found that for many radicalising children was a systematic process.
Online grooming is a terrifying and growing trend, and we are determined to equip as many caretakers and educators as possible with the tools required to tackle it. That's why we're incredibly excited to release a new professional development course specifically designed to help teachers deal with the radicalisation of the students in their care. This new course will be delivered by our panel of presenters - all with backgrounds in law enforcement. You can find out more about them here
