Safer Internet Day HistorySafer Internet Day seeks to promote the safe and responsible use of the internet and digital technology, especially among children and young people. It focuses on creating a better online environment by raising awareness of the potential risks faced by users while browsing the web. Key aspects of the observance include encouraging online safety education, promoting positive online behaviour, and informing the public about available resources to tackle cybercrime and other online threats. Safer Internet Day was initiated by the European Commission in 2004, and has since been endorsed by more than 170 countries. With around 90% of UK households having internet access and a high percentage of children and young adults owning smartphones, it is crucial to educate users on the importance of online privacy, understanding social media etiquette, and reporting cyberbullying or inappropriate content. Typical customs to mark Safer Internet Day in the UK involve schools, community organizations, and private companies hosting educational events and workshops for parents, teachers, and children, focused on digital safety and online etiquette. Public campaigns and resources are also launched on this occasion, offering practical guidance and support for navigating the online world safely. Safer Internet Day is typically celebrated on the second day of the second week of February. Safer Internet Day Facts
