Safer Internet Day is taking place in 2 weeks on Tuesday 6th February 2018!
Already over 800 organisations right across the UK have registered as supporters, including over 600 schools and big names such as Microsoft, Facebook, Lloyds Banking Group, the Department for Education, Welsh Government, the Children’s Commissioner for England, National Education Union, NASUWT, as well as Premier League Football Clubs, police services and charities across the UK.
At Childnet, we’re one of the three charities in the UK Safer Internet Centre, the coordinators of Safer Internet Day in the UK. We’re already seeing young people getting involved in the #ItStartsWithUs social media campaign, designing their jigsaw templates to show how they will play their part to create a better internet, while the Thunderclap is already set to reach over a million people on the morning of Safer Internet Day.
