How to get involved in Safer Internet Day 2026

Safer Internet Day 2026 will take place on 10 February 2026 with the theme “Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI.” This year’s campaign highlights an issue that has rapidly become a global discussion, how can we use artificial intelligence safely and responsibly?
It’s more important than ever for schools, charities, businesses, and community organisations to come together to raise awareness, share good practice, and help people of all ages make safe, informed choices online. Here’s how you and your organisation can get involved, and why your support matters.

The best way to get involved with Safer Internet Day 2026 is to register your support. By signing up as a supporter, your organisation:

– Joins the national celebration and officially includes you on the Safer Internet Day supporters map.

– Gives you the opportunity to share your planned activities for Safer Internet Day with thousands of other organisations

– Helps to raise awareness around how to stay safe online, especially around AI.

Registration is simple and free via the official supporter registration form. It asks for basic details and a short description of what you are planning to do to celebrate Safer Internet Day.
