We are Supporting Safer Internet Day 2019

Safer Internet Day 2019 will be celebrated globally on Tuesday 5th February and we are supporting the day!

Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre the celebration sees hundreds of organisations get involved and join a national conversation about using technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively.

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.
