Thought-provoking resources to promote informed discussions about staying safe online

Safer Internet Day (SID), celebrated this year on Tuesday 10 February, is the perfect time to talk to your classes about both the benefits and dangers of using the internet. As students are spending more and more time online and technologies are advancing, it makes this years theme, 'Artificial intelligence or AI. From voice, assistants, to chatbots, to the ethics of generative AI' more relevant than ever.

To help to get students thinking about how to look after themselves online, we’ve selected a range of popular primary and secondary Safer Internet Day, activities, assemblies, discussion starters and guides created for students to enjoy. These can be used as complete lessons or as jumping off points for wider discussion of these very important issues.
