What is Safer Internet Day?
Safer Internet Day examines how to stay safe online. An important part of this includes how to be safe on social media and how you can be safe on the internet.
Safer Internet Day 2024 will take place on the 6th of February.
Safer Internet Day is organised by the UK Safer Internet Centre. It is an opportunity for homes, schools and organisations around the country to work together to make the internet a safer place.
The purpose of Safer Internet Day is for each of us to get together to share ideas and tips on how to be safe online. It also reminds us all to treat others with respect online.
Each year there is a new theme linked to internet safety and responsible internet usage. The theme for Safer Internet Day 2024 is: ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’.
