Safer Internet Day
Safer Internet Day, coordinated by the UK Safer Internet Centre, is an annual celebration aiming to raise awareness of emerging online issues and concerns amongst young people, from cyberbullying to social networking to digital identity. This year, Safer Internet Day will be on the 9th February 2021 and will be celebrated in the UK with the theme:
An internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world
The internet has an amazing range of information and opportunities online, but how do we separate fact from fiction? In school and through their Home Learning, the children will have the opportunity to take part in a variety of activities which explore this theme. There are also Safer Internet Day assemblies available on the assemblies page of the website.
