Happy Safer Internet Day!

Today more than 100 countries worldwide, including all 28 countries of the European Union, are celebrating Safer Internet Day (SID) for the twelfth year running.

With the theme of Safer Internet Day 2015 once more being ‘Let’s create a better internet internet together’ the day marks an annual opportunity to engage in making the internet a safer and better place for our children and young people.

It’s hoped that everyone – be they children and young people, parents and carers, teachers and educators, or industry and politicians – will join together in to make this day a success.

Find out how you can join in by visiting the Safer Internet Day website.
