Safer Internet Day 2017

Today, 7th February, we are celebrating Safer Internet Day, with the theme ‘Be the change: Unite for a better internet’ with a focus on ‘The Power of Image’, looking at the ways people use image and video to communicate with each other.

The film below looks at the power of images online - how an image can create an impression and how often there is more than meets the eye in an image. How sometimes you can judge an image by seeing just a part of it and so the importance of taking in the whole, bigger, picture.

Safer Internet Day 2016

Play your part for a better internet:

This Safer Internet Day let’s make the internet a place of kindness and respect!

Be kind online: before you say what’s on your mind ask yourself is it kind?

Look out for your friends: if you see something mean online then report it, block the person and tell a parent or another trusted adult. 

Respect each other’s differences online: we're not all the same, and that's what makes us great! 

Play your part: help make the internet a kind place for everyone!
