2 weeks to go until Safer Internet Day 2021!

26 January 2021

There are now only two weeks to go until Safer Internet Day! We are running down the top 6 things you can do now to get ready to celebrate on 9th February.

  1. Sign up as a supporter
    By signing up as a supporter and telling us a bit more about your plans for the day you will appear on our map of the UK which demonstrates the fantastic range and scope of activities happening across the country! Without the amazing work of all of the Safer Internet Day supporters we wouldn’t be able to reach and inspire such a fantastic number of young people as a result of Safer Internet Day.
  2. Register your interest in our GUINNESS WORLD RECORD™ attempt
    By using our supporters registration form you can also register your interest in taking part in the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for Most shares of an online pledge for an internet safety campaign in 24 hours.
  3. See our Remote learning adaptions
    With many young people now learning remotely, we have produced four documents giving an overview of the exciting resources available. We have also created two pre-recorded assemblies for primary and secondary which you can share with your pupils to help them make a start on their Safer Internet Day celebrations.
    These resources have been designed to help all young people can join in the celebrations for Safer Internet Day, wherever they are.
  4. Watch the video content
    Our Safer Internet Day films are engaging, short videos which aim to help young people delve deeper into their ideas around trust and reliability online. The films act as an extension of the education packs and as such aim to be conversation starters around the topic of reliability and trust online.
  5. Test your online safety knowledge with our quiz
    From checking headlines to spotting sponsored content, our Safer Internet Day quiz is designed to help young people test their online safety knowledge. Why not test out your own knowledge, or have a competition with your family to see who is the most online safety savvy.
  6. Share this on Twitter
    Why not share your support of Safer Internet Day by posting a message on your social media accounts, you could say:
    We are supporting Safer Internet Day on the 9th February! Join us and @UK_SIC to help create a better internet this #SaferInternetDay www.saferinternetday.org.uk
