Safer Internet Day
Safer Internet Day took place this week, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Inspiring change, making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’.
Safer Internet Day is the UK’s biggest celebration of online safety. Each year an online issue or theme is covered that speaks to the things young people are seeing and experiencing online. This year's Safer Internet work was focused on change online, this includes covering:
- Young people’s perspective on new and emerging technology.
- Using the internet to make change for the better.
- The changes young people want to see online.
- The things that can influence and change the way young people think, feel and act online and offline.
The UK Safer Internet Centre has created a new advice page to support parents. It addresses online safety concerns around: online games; new devices; and the content children engage with online.
