We Are Supporting Safer Internet Day 2022

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.

This year’s Safer Internet Day 2022 is today (8 February), with celebrations and learning around the theme ‘All fun and games?  Exploring respect and relationships online’.  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.

#PlayYourPart – Safer Internet Day 2022

• 77% of young people have spent more time playing online games and apps during the pandemic than ever before
• More than 1 in 5 young people see a supportive response to negativity within games and apps every week
• 41% of young people have blocked or reported another user because of their behaviour

Safer Internet Day 2022 celebrates young people’s role in creating a safer internet and the ways they are shaping the interactive entertainment spaces they are a part of.  The platforms young people use are spaces for connection, community and collaboration, which is why the day challenges them to foster supportive relationships and respectful communities, whilst equipping them with the skills they need to keep themselves and others safe in these spaces.
