Over the years, Safer Internet Day has become a landmark event in the online safety calendar. Starting as an initiative of the EU ‘SafeBorders’ project in 2004 and taken up by the Insafe network as one of its earliest actions in 2005, Safer Internet Day has grown beyond its traditional geographic zone and is now celebrated in approximately 170 countries worldwide.
From cyberbullying to social networking to digital identity, each year Safer Internet Day aims to raise awareness of emerging online issues and current concerns.
We will use this as another opportunity to share and reinforce the key messages that children need to know around cyber safety, as we do routinely through the curriculum and during our annual Be Safe-Be Happy Week.
