National Association of Headteachers (NAHT)

Paul Whiteman, General Secretary, NAHT:

“Safer Internet Day provides a great opportunity for school leaders to emphasise to pupils and parents alike that, while the internet provides a powerful source of information, it needs to be handled with care. The benefits and risks of easy internet access for pupils are clear, so it’s important to find the right balance. Where internet safety is concerned, younger children should not be left to their own devices.”
