We have created a range of resources to help you deliver sessions for Safer Internet Day, whether you are a school, nursery, youth group, library, police service, or wider. These educational resources have been specifically designed to support educators in delivering messages about our campaign theme of reliability online.

Films for 5-11 year olds

This short film for use with young people aged between 5 and 11 looks at a range of children creating avatars online and discussing the choices they make about how they represent themselves.

This film can be a great way of furthering the discussions raided the education packs, why not watch the film with your class and ask the following questions: 

  • Do you use avatars online?
  • How can avatars be used to keep us safe online?’
  • How can avatars help us express who we are?
  • what would your avatar look like? 

Films for 11-18 year olds

In our film for 11-18 year olds, which replicates a social media story, we hear young people share really interesting insights around two key questions around online identity: ‘Are people free to be who they are online?’ And ‘Is everyone fairly represented online?’

This film can be a great way of furthering the discussions raided the education packs, why not watch the film with your class and ask the following questions: 

  • Is everyone free to be themselves online?
  • What did you think of the views expressed in this films? 
  • What does it mean to be fairly represented online? 
  • What do you wish we were free to be online?
