Making space for conversations about life online', providing a valuable opportunity to focus on online safety with your pupils.
There are lots of ways schools can get involved in Safer Internet Day.
Here are a range of fully-funded resources including assemblies, lesson plans, posters and a other quick activities (suitable for tutor times). There are activities for all ages and stages, available in a variety of languages.
Pupil voice activity: create an internet safety youth charter
The UK Safer Internet Centre are creating a national youth charter setting out children and young people's agenda and the changes they want to see in how they're supported online. This charter will be delivered to government and the internet industry. They are asking settings to create their own youth charters and have created a template to help do this.
Support families to help keep their children safe online
The events and resources listed below will help families talk to their children about safe internet use. Please promote them with families, adding the resource links to your website for future signposting.
