Sangeet Bhullar is the founder and executive director of WISE KIDS an organisation that believes that the Internet is a vital tool in the information age, and seeks to promote internet literacy, proficiency and knowledge of the Internet and related technologies.

WISE KIDS believes that individuals and communities need the knowledge, skills and tools to understand how the Internet works, use it more effectively, and to see the possibilities that it offers in terms of providing access to information, creating content, connecting people, encouraging people to contribute and participate, use and develop services that are of benefit. WISE KIDS also believes in the importance of awareness and practice of safe Internet use, and believes that individuals and communities need to be given information on Internet security and safety issues from grooming and chat room danger to scams like phishing. In this way, they will have the knowledge, tools and confidence to be active participants (users and contributors) of the knowledge economy. WISE KIDS is committed to overcoming the digital divide and believes that the way forward must rest in greater Internet education and awareness.

To this end, WISE KIDS works with young people, community groups, parents, librarians, youth organisations, local education authorities, schools and businesses throughout Wales and elsewhere, to raise awareness of positive and safe Internet use. This is implemented through consultation, delivery of customised training programmes for staff or others, and the WISE KIDS website.
