Safer Internet Day 2021

Tuesday 9th February 2021

Safer Internet Day 2021 will be celebrated in the UK with the theme: 

An internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world

We will be celebrating this day remotely on Seesaw and we would love you to take part.

This year in the UK, Safer Internet Day explores reliability online. The campaign will focus on knowing what to trust online and the strategies that young people use to question, challenge and change the online world. The internet has an amazing range of information and opportunities online, and can help us see the world from different points of view. But how do we separate fact from fiction, the genuine from the misleading? How do we decide what to believe online, and what’s the impact of dealing with fake content and experiences? 

The children will receive an activity linked to this theme in addition to a short pre-recorded assembly that we would love you to watch and discuss with your child.

Here is a short  video where children share their opinion about how parents and carers can help with trust onlineThere are lots of LIVE events taking place that you might also want to join in with detailed below

Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity to focus on online safety with your child – whether that’s trying out some of the learning activities in the pack below, asking about what they like to do online or using their favourite app or game with them. 

We hope that you will join us by having those vital conversations with your children about online safety. Here is the letter which was sent to parents.
