Remember when "sharing" just meant splitting a sandwich at lunch? Today, our kids are sharing their lives through posts, reels, and chats before they've even finished their morning cereal.
Safer Internet Day isn't just another awareness day – it's our chance to turn everyday digital moments into opportunities for growth. Whether it's helping your nine-year-old understand why that "free robux" link isn't as exciting as it seems, or guiding a teenager through their first viral post, we're here to make those conversations easier and more effective.
Why Your Involvement Matters
UK Safer Internet Centre's Safer Internet Day 2024 Impact Report shows us that celebrating this day in school and at home can truly make a difference. Of the students and parents who had heard about Safer Internet Day, it was found that 75% of young people learned something new about online safety, and 72% of parents reported feeling better equipped to understand online harms.
