Over the years, Safer Internet Day has become a landmark event in the online safety calendar. Starting as an initiative of the EU SafeBorders project in 2004 and taken up by the Insafe network as one of its earliest actions in 2005, Safer Internet Day has grown beyond its traditional geographic zone and is now celebrated in approximately 180 countries and territories worldwide.
From cyberbullying to social networking to digital identity, each year Safer Internet Day aims to raise awareness of emerging online issues and current concerns.
Below you'll find a gallery of resources - from across the Insafe network of Safer Internet Centres and beyond - to help you celebrate Safer Internet Day in your school or home... and indeed promote a safer and better internet all year through!
We have also shared some useful links to resources for parents/carers and students, please find below:

'Inflation is soaring, hitting hardworking people across Erith and Thamesmead. Food, fuel, and household bills are up, but wages and benefits are not keeping apace.
People are worried about how they will pay their bills, especially with the astronomical prices energy companies are expected to charge.
I know people are scared about getting through the winter. While there’s lots of advice out there, it’s not always in one place.
So, I have tried to gather information about all the agencies, organisations and charities that are out there and can provide you with help, information and support for managing your bills. I hope the information in this booklet will be useful to you, and as ever, please do get in contact if I can be of help.'
