Safer Internet Day takes place each year
What have we done previously?
Last year's Safer Internet Day was the biggest yet with more than a thousand organisations and schools across the UK getting involved to help inspire a national conversation about using technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively.
This year our children will be taking part in a full day of learning about keeping safe while using the internet. In the afteroon we are inviting all our parents to come in and join their children in class where the children become the teachers sharing al their knowledge. The aim is for both children and parents to have a better awareness and understanding of keeping safe online.
A range of resources for parents and carers for Safer Internet Day. To help you talk to your children about having a positive and safe time online, SID have created a pack for parents and carers, including conversation starters, a factsheet, family pledge card and more!
What is Safer Internet Day?
Safer Internet Day is celebrated globally in February each year to promote the safe and positive use of digital technology for children and young people and inspire a national conversation.
Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre the celebration sees hundreds of organisations get involved to help promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.
Globally, Safer Internet Day is celebrated in over a hundred countries, coordinated by the joint Insafe/INHOPE network, with the support of the European Commission, and national Safer Internet Centres across Europe.
The day offers the opportunity to highlight positive uses of technology and to explore the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community. It calls upon young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers, and wider, to join together in helping to create a better internet.
Have you considered what your children thinks about your online habits? Safer Internet Day asked Childnet Digital Leaders on what they thought about parents sharing content online without asking first. Hear what they have to say!https://youtu.be/nCLwJQ0SBsE
Do you know what your children are doing and looking at online? The Safer Internet Day team created a film for parents and carers. The film looks at what is important in digital parenting and signposts parents and carers to resources they might find useful.
