ABOUT SAFER INTERNET DAY 2016

Safer Internet Day 2016 will be celebrated globally on Tuesday 9th Februarywith the slogan ‘Play your part for a better internet’. Coordinated in New Zealand by NetSafe the celebration will see New Zealand organisations getting involved to help promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.

The day offers the opportunity to highlight positive uses of technology and to explore the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community. It calls upon young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers, and others to join together in helping to create a better internet. Ultimately, a better internet is up to all of us.
