Safer Internet Day resources
This year's Safer Internet Day will be based around the theme ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’.
The day will focus on how young people are engaging with current and emerging technology, the changes they want to see and how we can use the internet to make a positive impact.
We hope you find these materials useful, and they help your children to understand how they can find reliable, safe and trustworthy online content.
