In the modern world, it is imperative that we keep our children safe. Part of keeping children safe is making sure they know how to be safe and discussing what they are using online. It is important that they are protected from cyber-bullying, teach them to be responsible online and protect them from harmful content. As a school, we teach the importance of being safe online in every year group but it is important that this is followed up at home as well. There are several different resources that can be used to support you and your children.

• Childnet 
• CEOP - Safety Centre 
• NSPCC - online safety 
• Childline - staying safe online 

Safer Internet Day 11th February 2025

Safer Internet Day 2025 will take place on the 11^th of February 2025, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online‘’.

This Safer Internet Day we will assess the real scale of this issue and allow young people to share their experiences and ideas on how to tackle the problem. We’ll build on the important work being done to raise awareness of issues such as online financial sextortion and we’ll also consider the future of scams, answering questions such as:

• How is changing technology like generative AI going to impact the approach of scammers?
• What role can the government and internet industry take to tackle this threat?
• And what changes would young people like to see to help protect themselves moving forward?

Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre, the celebration sees thousands of organisations get involved to promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.
