About Safer Internet Day

On the 9th February 2016, millions across the UK and globally will be celebrating Safer Internet Day. Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre, the day is a great opportunity to talk to young people about the safe and positive use of technology.

This year’s theme is ‘Play your part for a better internet!’ and provides an opportunity for schools to make the most of the positive opportunities offered online, whilst giving young people the resilience, skills, knowledge and support they need to navigate any online risks they may come across.

The UK Safer Internet Centre has put together a helpful information page for schools with ideas and inspiration for getting involved in Safer Internet Day.

Don’t forget to join the Safer Internet Day Supporters list to receive your supporter certificate and join hundreds of schools from across the UK in sharing what you are doing to support the day.
