What is Safer Internet Day?

 

Safer Internet Day 2018 will be celebrated globally on Tuesday 6th February 2018 with the slogan ‘Create, connect and share respect: A better internet starts with you’.  

 

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

 

The UK Safer Internet Centre – a partnership of three leading charities; Childnet, the South West Grid for Learning and the Internet Watch Foundation – provide resources for children, schools and families, and tools for getting involved at www.saferinternet.org.uk.

 

Globally, Safer Internet Day is celebrated in over a hundred countries, coordinated by the joint Insafe/INHOPE network, with the support of the European Commission, and national Safer Internet Centres across Europe.

 

The day offers the opportunity to highlight positive uses of technology and to explore the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community. It calls upon young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers, and wider, to join together in helping to create a better internet. Get involved to play your part!

 

 

What is happening in our school?

 

To celebrate the many positives of the internet, and to raise awareness of the issues that children and young people face online today, Yardley Primary School will be joining Safer Internet Day 2018 by carrying out a range of activities in school.  We will also take part in the ‘It Starts With Us’ campaign where we will pledge to do something positive online, by sharing our personally designed jigsaw pieces!

 

During this week, we will also be sending home the latest issue of the Digital Parenting magazine.  This magazine provides parents and carers with the latest useful information and advice regarding online safety.
