Safer Internet Day 2023
Safer Internet Day 2023 will take place on the 7th of February 2023 and the theme for this year is
‘Want to talk about it?
Making space for conversations about life online’
Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre, the celebration sees thousands of organisations get involved to promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.
In the UK, we want to put children and young people’s voices at the heart of the day and encourage them to shape the online safety support that they receive. That is why we are asking parents, carers, teachers, government, policymakers, and the wider online safety industry to take time to listen to children and young people and make positive change together.
This year we are hoping to answer the following questions:
- What issues really matter to children and young people?
- What changes do they want to see?
- How can we all work together to advocate for them moving forward?
You can find useful information and advice online to help start conversations with young people about their online life to put their voices at the heart of the day and encourage them to shape the online safety support that they receive.
