Safer Internet Challenge 2023
The Kent Children's University #SaferInternetDay
2023 Challenge has been published in readiness for the 7th
February...
You can use these support materials to help your
children complete the Safer Internet Challenge!
Safer Internet Day is celebrated globally in
February each year to promote the safe and positive use of digital
technology for children and young people, and to inspire a national
conversation about using technology responsibly, respectfully,
critically, and creatively.
Co-ordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet
Centre, Safer Internet Day is celebrated in over a hundred
countries coordinated by the joint Insafe/INHOPE network, with the
support of the European Commission, and national Safer Internet
Centres across Europe.
Safer Internet Day 2023
activities for children and families
To help schools promote safer internet messages to families,
beyond Safer Internet Day, the Education Safeguarding Service's
Online Safety Team has worked with Kent Children's University to
produce a #SaferInternetDay Challenge pack for children, aged 5 to
14.
This pack contains 10 key challenge activity ideas, as well as
useful resources for children, schools and families to access.
The Challenge will run until the 31st March
2023 so there is plenty of time to get involved.
Note for schools: The Safer
Internet Challenge launches with schools and families on the 31st
January 2023 and you can find the resource below so why not
send the resource home to your parents/carers this week so families
can get involved during the half-term to reinforce your online
safety messaging.
Young people who are part of Children's University can earn a
varying number of Learning Credits for each activity completed
outside normal school time.
