Children's Commissioner for England

“The internet and social media are a permanent part of modern childhood and they offer huge opportunities to learn and connect. Safer Internet Day brings schools, parents, teachers and industry together to make sure children have the power, information and resilience they need to make safe and informed choices online. That means parents making sure their children have a healthy digital diet, social media companies taking more responsibility for protecting children from the internet’s negative side and Government working with schools to teach children the practical and emotional skills they need as they navigate their way through the digital world.”
