WHO WE ARE

About the Be In Touch team

OUR JOURNEY

How We Started

As a mother of two, Kate has experienced firsthand the challenges of educating, connecting and protecting her family in this digital world. She’s a “mum on a mission”, exploring, analysing and testing practical solutions to make online parenting easier and simpler, bringing all these tips and resources together for other like-minded parents.

Together with Josh, a father and an educator with a passion for digital wellness, she founded Be in Touch, so that no other parent need feel alone on this online parenting journey!

OUR PATH

Where We’re Going

We love technology AND our children – but sometimes we wish they didn’t go quite so well together! Just like you, we’re trying to figure out how to balance our children’s tech world with their health, safety and sanity – and ours!

We know that online parenting can feel overwhelming, so we’re all about sharing simple, practical solutions to help you on this journey.

We get parents, teachers and children thinking and talking about the online challenges they have, and how they can manage and overcome them. We run inspiring, life-changing learning experiences for children, parents and teachers – think tanks, talks, webinars, movie screenings, campaigns, challenges. We shift the focus from scare-mongering to real solutions. 

Our mission is all about “keeping kids safer and saner online”!

WHO WE ARE

MOTHER | THINKER | VISIONARY | FOUNDER

Kate

so From an interest in marine biology which broadened to “swimming with sharks” in a corporate environment as an environmental lawyer, Kate has always got involved in ventures that channel her passion for motivating others and making a difference. With a husband who views Whatsapp as the pinnacle of social media, she shoulders the burden of keeping up with the digital world and how to manage its impact on their teens!

The concept of Be In Touch was born out of requests from other like-minded, busy parents, to share her intel as she gathered it. And so, here we are!

FATHER | EDUCATOR | LUMINARY |
FOUNDER

Josh

After a degree in psychology, philosophy, and coaching, Josh spent his twenties travelling the world working as a model, actor and later a stuntman.

He’s seen and experienced first-hand the illusion of the ‘entertainment engine’ and decided to pursue purpose over profit. His broad scope of experience from working in organisational development to holding workshops for teens and tweens, means he always begins with the end in mind, and brings humour and realism to every interaction with adults and children.

  • I've attended a few of Josh Ramsey's webinars. I learn something new every time. It is a scary world out there and these are super useful webinars with excellent tips for keeping our children safe. The most recent takeaway for me, as parents, is to model good habits to our children.

  • positive review  First time to attend Be in Touch webinar on digital parenting, as a father of an 8- and 5-years old boys I was not really aware of how dangerously a digital world without control can affect my kids. I have now understood that I need to communicate with them and have agreement with gaming, as to how long and what games are safer for them. screen time is very important. I will strongly recommend any parent to follow this page for their children digital well-being.

  • positive review  Josh was amazing with our children, talking about tricky issues with poise. His warm personality let children have an immediate repore with him. This helped us get realistic results for the survey - a must for all schools who care about the digital wellbeing of their children. We are looking forward to further partnering with Be in Touch to help us guide our parents whom we hope will in turn help provide a safer online environment for their children.
