Safer Internet Day 2024
Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online.
The aim of Safer Internet Day is to inspire making a change online. Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre the celebration sees thousands of organisations get involved to help promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.
Each year we cover an online issue or theme that speaks to the things young people are seeing and experiencing online. Created in consultation with young people across the UK, this year Safer Internet Day will be focusing on change online, this includes covering:
● Young people’s perspective on new and emerging technology
● Using the internet to make change for the better
● The changes young people want to see online
● The things that can influence and change the way young people think, feel and act online and offline
