A WORLD expert on internet security will help a college promote positive mental health as part of a week-long initiative which begins today.

University College Cork (UCC) graduate Dr Rachel O’Connell is the former chief safety officer with social networking site Bebo.

She has been a key contributor to the development of policy on internet related issues in Britain, and most recently she chaired the Public Awareness Group of the Home Secretary’s Internet Task Force on Child Protection.
