Martin Cocker joined NetSafe as the Executive Director in March 2006. Before that Cocker worked in the ICT industry for 12 years.
NetSafe can play an important role aiding this country's transition to an information society by strengthening our ability to manage ICT based risks. For this we need digital age skills - and that includes digital safety skills. Our role is certainly not to attempt to reduce ICT use or to judge the way people chose to use technology. In practical terms this means packaging up digital safety skills into consumable products - like the websites and video resources. It means identifying strategies that work to keep people safer and then implementing them - or lobbying for their implementation. It also means identifying strategies that don't work and discouraging them.
