NEW: Safer Internet Day Top Tips and Advice Pages

The UK Safer Internet Centre has launched top tips and advice pages especially for Safer Internet Day 2019.

These pages contain tips, advice and resources to help young people and their families enjoy technology and the internet together in a safe and positive way.

These pages include top tips about staying safe online as well as the ways young people can ask, give, and receive permission online, linking with the theme of; our internet, our choice.

The advice pages for young people are split into three age appropriate sections:

The top tips for 3-7 year olds centre around asking if something is okay online, as well as looking at personal information and where young people can go if they need help.

The top tips for 7-11s look at sensible choices online, choosing whether something is okay online and ways that young people can be role models.

The top tips for 11-18s look at how everyone can play a part in making the internet a better place, including by being supportive and positive and talking to someone if young people are not sure how to respond to something that happens online.

Our top tips for parents and carers give advice and guidance on how to support children and young people online.

We have created Education Packs, which are tailored made for 3-7s, 7-11s, 11-14s, 14-18s and parents and carers, along with some guidance for educators. Available in English and Welsh these free packs include lesson plans, posters, presentations, activities and more! 

Our Safer Internet Day TV 2019 films have been produced to complement the Safer Internet Day Education Packs. The films act as an extension of the packs and as such aim to be conversation starters around the topic of consent in a digital world.
