What is Safer Internet Day?

 

Safer Internet Day is on 8th February 2022. It’s celebrated across the globe in over 170 countries, with thousands of young people joining in across the UK to explore how they can use the internet responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively.

 

Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity to focus on online safety with your child – whether that’s trying out some of the learning activities in the pack below, asking about what they like to do online or using their favourite app or game with them.

 

You could support the day on social media, tell other friends and family about the day, or ask your child for their best tips for staying safe online.  Find out more here: saferinternetday.org.

E-SAFETY TIPS

 

The best way to help your child to be a safe when using the internet and new technologies is to talk to them and make sure they understand these simple rules:

 

• You should never give out personal details to online ‘friends’. Use a nickname when logging on and don’t share full name, email address, mobile number, school name and any photos, including photos of family or friends – any picture or video online can be changed or shared without permission.

 

• Talk to your child about what they are doing online and who they are talking to. Get them to show you how to use things you are not familiar with. Keeping the computer in a family room means that you can share your child’s online experience, they are less likely to act inappropriately (i.e. via webcam) and their online ‘friends’ will see they are in a family room.

 

• If your child receives a message that upsets them, remind them not to reply, they should save the message and show you or another trusted adult.

 

• Spam and junk emails and texts are not true, don’t reply or send them to anyone else, just delete them.

 

• Don’t open files sent from people you don’t know. They could contain a virus, or worse – an inappropriate image or film.

 

• An online ‘friend’ is anyone you have not met in real life; no matter how long you have been friends with them.

 

• Help your child to understand that some people lie online and that it’s better to keep online ‘mates’ online. They should never meet up with any online ’friends’ without an adult they trust.

 

• Make sure they know how to block someone online and report them if they feel uncomfortable.

 

• Make sure your child feels able to talk to you, let them know that it’s never too late to tell someone if something makes them feel uncomfortable. Don’t blame your child, let then know you trust them.
