Safer Internet Day is just around the corner
|
Safer Internet Day is a global day of action dedicated to raising awareness of online safety.
The internet connects us more than ever – it’s where we learn, work, socialise and share our lives. But that also means online risks are part of everyday life.
Safer Internet Day is an opportunity to take a moment to talk about what’s really happening online, and think about what we can each do to make it better. Because when we each do something small – whether that’s starting a conversation, sharing a tip or changing a habit – we make a big difference to everyone’s online experience.
Visit the Safer Internet Day Hub to find everything you need to make online safety visible in your club school, workplace or community.
