Check out the UK Safer Internet Centre here you can find out the latest advice on how to use the internet and new technologies safely and responsibly. Also find a range of practical resources, news and events focussing on the safe and responsible use of the internet and new technologies.

 From January 2011 Childnet along with the South West Grid for Learning (SWGfL) and the IWF will be the UK Safer Internet Centre. One of their jobs as the UK Safer Internet Centre is to get as many people involved in Safer Internet Day as possible!


It's important for all users of the internet to be aware of the consequences of their online actions - both good and bad!

Taking care, being safe and responsible online and offline is an important part of child development.

Safer Internet Day is organised by Insafe each year in February to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially amongst children and young people across the world. Check out their webpage and toolkit

Childnet International has produced a Safer Internet Day resource pack to help educators participate in Safer Internet Day. 

Remember Safer Internet Day is not only there to remind pupils of safety messages related to the internet. Why not think about educating parent/staff bodies about the opportunities offered by the internet. Have a gaming day in school and invite pupils to become the teachers. Challenge them to come up with ideas for learning through gaming!
