It’s Safer Internet Day and with technology and the internet being part of everyday life, online safety is key – and by that, we mean keeping safe online.
Why is Safer Internet Day important?
In today’s hyper-connected world, staying safe while using the internet is vital to several aspects of life: ensuring your personal information is safe, knowing how to act appropriately with technology, and most importantly, ensuring students can learn in a secure environment.
There is a lot more to staying safe online than just blocking and filtering. It also includes educating young people to act respectfully, know the risks and be able to speak up. To support Safer Internet Day, we’ve released new resources to boost knowledge about eSafety and safeguarding.
