Keeping kids safer on the internet

Safer Internet Day 2016 will be celebrated on Tuesday 9 February 2016, with a theme of 'Play your part for a better internet!'.

Safer Internet Day (#SID2016) is organised by Insafe in February of each year to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially among children and young people across the world.

From cyberbullying to social networking, each year Safer Internet Day aims to raise awareness of emerging online issues and chooses a topic reflecting current concerns. For SID 2016, the focus of the day is "Play your part for a better internet", reflecting the fact that we all have a role to play.

Each year Safer Internet Centres, SID Committees and other supporters in each of the countries coming together to plan and organise events. Follow this link to find out what's happening near you — saferinternetday.org.
