Safer Internet Day 2022

Safer Internet Day 2022

Dear Parents,

Today is Safer Internet Day and we will be doing lots of activities in school this week learning about how to stay safe online. The theme this year is ‘All fun and Games?’ We want to convey to the children that while the online world can be lots of fun and you can game and chat with your friends- you also need to be very careful about who you communicate with. It is not always fun and things can go wrong.

Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers and more, to join together in helping to create a better internet.

Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote in school and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year.

We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home. To help you with this, you may be interested in downloading the free Safer Internet Day  Resources for Parents and Carers which is available at: saferinternet.org.uk/sid-parents.

There are top tips, quizzes, and films which you can use at home with your child.
