Announcing the theme for Safer Internet Day 2025!
Make sure you save the date, Safer Internet Day 2025 is happening on Tuesday 11th February 2025, and this year celebrations and learnings will be happening around the theme:
Too good to be true? Keeping yourself and others safe from scams online
Taking a closer look at the theme
We’ve all received an email with a suspicious link, a text claiming to be from our bank, or even seen a pop-up telling us we have been a lucky winner – but scams take many forms and can target anyone, including young people. This Safer Internet Day we are starting a conversation about how to spot, respond to and report scams of all types online.
Young people have told us how scammers are targeting the platforms they know and love, tricking them to share items and currency in games, or luring them with social media giveaways and ads which promise anything from gig tickets or exam papers to cryptocurrency. Our campaign for Safer Internet Day 2025 will uncover the tricks and techniques used to target you, your children and your money.

Educational resources and top tips
Our educational resources will help schools and youth groups talk about this issue, whilst our top tips and advice for parents, carers and grandparents will help everyone learn how to protect themselves and their loved ones from the evolving threats posed by criminals online.
Research
Our research will assess the real scale of these issues and allow young people to share their experiences and ideas on how to tackle the problem. We’ll build on the important work being done to raise awareness of issues such as online financial sextortion and we’ll also consider the future of scams, answering questions such as:
- How is changing technology like generative AI going to impact the approach of scammers?
- What role can the government and internet industry take to tackle this threat?
- And what changes would young people like to see to help protect themselves moving forward?
