Safer Internet Day 2024 Celebrated at Kettering Buccleuch Academy
This week Mr Henton delivered an assembly to the whole school community to highlight Safer Internet Day 2024.
Safer Internet Day 2024 takes place on the 6th of February 2024, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’.
Safer Internet Day is the UK’s biggest celebration of online safety. Each year the day explores an online issue or theme that speaks to the things young people are seeing and experiencing online. Created in consultation with young people across the UK, this year Safer Internet Day focused on change online, this includes covering:
- 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
Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre, the celebration sees thousands of organisations get involved to promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.
As part of our efforts to mark Safer Internet Day, Mr Mba also appeared on a podcast along with speakers from a number of organisations working to keep young people safe online and support parents in keeping them informed. You can listen to that conversation here.
