“ Maureen was highly professional in all aspects of arranging and facilitating a workshop at our School Chaplains’ Association conference. The content was relevant, informative and well presented’. Feedback from those who attended; “informative and helpful”, “highly recommended”, “excellent” ”

“As Chief Instructor Military Police School, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your informative lecture to our International Military Police Course. As always your lecture continues to provide an insight into your profession and exemplifies your extremely high standards. Your professionalism, interest and expertise were a valuable contribution to the success of the course once again”

“Our sincere thank you again for the excellent presentations you gave to our pupils and parents today. It was so expertly presented and pitched and was both inspiring and extremely thought provoking for all involved. Our pupils are growing up in such difficult times in relation to digital media and online activity and it was wonderful to receive clear cut information, direction and common sense advice in an area so fraught with ambiguity and confusion at times. “Be with the the ones you are with” - so simple and yet so powerful! It will definitely be a focal point for our teaching around this area going forward. Many thanks again. ”

““Maureen came to speak at UCC’s Guidance Counsellors Conference to an overwhelmingly positive response from Guidance Counsellors (school-based, privately practising and still in training). Maureen’s professional development session on social media and cyber-bullying was highly informative, very useful and unexpectedly startling. Maureen is an excellent speaker – her delivery of sometimes unpleasant material, facts and figures is calm, eloquent and clear.””

“Every school should have this talk and every parent should hear it too. Cyber bullying and Facebook are huge issues for all schools, this talk was so informative and practical. The students certainly realise that everything they post is potentially available to everyone on the web. Sexting is more widespread than anyone of us could imagine. As a Principal I will be inviting Dr. Griffin back on a regular basis, in today’s world we need to keep ourselves and our students up to speed on the dangers of Sexting, Facebook and cyber bullying. 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”

“. . . . 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.”

“We recently had Maureen speak with the older classes during school hours, and speak with the parents that same evening.  Every adult and child with internet access should hear this presentation.  It provoked such a reaction from children and parents alike.  The information contained in this talk is key in this day and age. Most of all, the presentation skills of Maureen are second to none, she is the utmost professional to deal with and she knows her subject inside out. It was a pleasure having her in our school, and we will certainly be getting her back in the future.”

“We were absolutely delighted with the talk given by you to the parents of Summercove National School, Kinsale. It was very beneficial to all present at the talk, as many of us needed to be updated on the workings of the various social networking sites. The benefits of being aware of the potential dangers involved and to become acquainted with the ‘lingo’ can only but help us to stay in tune with our children. We look forward to a return visit by you to our school for a student talk”

“I never thought about how much info I was giving away online –it was scary. I am going home today and changing my setting for definite. Thanks for coming to our school –we are all talking about it since”

“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.

“I was particularly impressed with the follow-up advice and support received from MGMS. ”
