UK safer internet day 2025 is 11th February

 This year the theme is 'Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online'. We will be covering at an age appropriate level across the school:

* Who are our trusted adults?

* How can we protect ourselves?

* Finding out that a scam is: -

If something seems too good to be true, like a high quality item for a very cheap price.

If someone contacts you when you weren’t expecting it, like in a message or email.

If someone or something asks for your personal information.

If someone asks for money or to trade with you.

2024's theme was Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online'. It focused on change online, this included:

• Young people’s perspective on new and emerging technology
• Using the internet to make change for the better
• The changes young people want to see online
• The things that can influence and change the way young people think, feel and act online and offline

Keeping children safe and feeling happy is our priority. We have online safety lessons each term and others when the need arises, these are set at an age appropriate level. In school, we discuss having 5 trusted adults that we could turn to if we felt worried, scared or concerned. In classes will be exploring the theme at an age appropriate level. Any questions or any concerns at any time, please contact the school.

Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.

Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.

Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

Tips for staying safe online:

• Make sure you keep new online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.

• Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
