Each year in the UK, Safer Internet Day explores a new issue or theme which is impacting the lives of young people in the UK.
Recently, we spotlighted specific resources for educators to use for 3-7 years, and then the pack to use for 7-11 years.
By helping your child to feel confident and secure, they are more likely to share their ideas and opinions, ask questions, and contribute to discussions without fear of judgment or negative feedback.
The Safer Internet Day 2022 resources for parents and carers are designed to help you spark conversations with your child about staying safe online generally, and, more specifically, this year’s theme for Safer Internet Day:
