In school next week, your children will be learning about how to stay safe online as part of Safer Internet Day. The theme this year is:
All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online
From gaming and chat, to streaming and video, young people are shaping the interactive entertainment spaces they are a part of. Safer Internet Day 2022 celebrates young people’s role in creating a safer internet, whether that is whilst gaming and creating content, or interacting with their friends and peers.
Using tailored learning materials, tips and resources for all ages as well as for educators and families, Safer Internet Day challenges everyone to play their part in fostering supportive relationships and respectful communities online. From discussing the ways the internet can be used to communicate, to creating positive change in online groups when bullying behaviours arise, the Day empowers young people to be at the heart of creating a better internet.
So why not have that conversation with your child this weekend. What online games do they play? Who do they talk to? Do they know how to report any incidents which might occur online?
