Children’s Commissioner for Wales, Sally Holland:

“The right to information and to freedom of expression are rights within the United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child that children can enjoy online. However, they also have rights to privacy and to protection from harm that are often challenged in the digital world. Our job as a society is to empower children to become digital citizens who lead safe, happy and healthy lives, both online and offline. Safer Internet Day makes a valuable contribution to this.”
