About our SID activities

For Safer Internet Day 2024, the UK Safer Internet Centre is organising celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, Managing Influence and Navigating Change Online’. We are celebrating by putting children and young people’s voices at the heart of the day and encouraging them to shape the online safety support they receive.

That is why we ask parents, carers, teachers, government, policymakers, and the wider online safety industry to listen to children and young people and make positive changes together.

Created in consultation with young people across the UK, this year Safer Internet Day will be focusing on change online, this includes covering: 

1) Young people’s perspective on new and emerging technology 
2) Using the internet to make change for the better 
3) The changes young people want to see online 
4) The things that can influence and change the way young people think, feel and act online and offline 

We have created free educational resources for 3-7s, 7-11s, 11-14s and 14-18 year olds to support this work. There is also space for young people to get their voices heard in our youth charter, as well as support for parents and carers. There is also the opportunity for organisations, charities, schools and others to sign up as official supporters of the day.

We are celebrating by putting children and young people’s voices at the heart of the day and encouraging them to shape the online safety support they receive. Our Youth Charter will put young people's voices at the heart of the campaign and allow us to help deliver their demands to industry, government, educators, parents and carers.

About us

The UK Safer Internet Centre (UKSIC), established in 2011, is a leading global partnership helping to make the internet a great and safe place for everyone.

We provide support and services to children and young people, adults facing online harm, and professionals working with children.

A bridge between Government, industry, law enforcement and society, we are the engine of the online protection landscape in the UK, dealing with both prevention and response.

We are unique. Formed of three charities, Childnet, Internet Watch Foundation and SWGfL, we work together to identify threats and harms online and then create and deliver critical advice, resources, education and interventions that help keep children and young people, and adults, safe. We share our best practices across the UK and globally.
