Safer Internet Day 2024 Safer Internet Day 2025 will take place on the 11 th of February 2025, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘ Too good to be true? Keeping yourself and others safe from scams online ‘
This theme has been chosen by the Insafe network which is made up of Safer Internet Centres based in every European country. The theme encourages young people to work together to be positive, safe and respectful online.
In the UK the campaign will particularly empower young people to take control of their digital lives and consider how consent works in an online context. It will explore how young people ask, give and receive consent online. This could be in their friendships or relationships, how they take and share images and videos of how they manage their privacy and data.
