Safer Internet Day is marked on 7 February every year.

We all have a right to feel safe and secure and that means safe online as well as in the real world. Safer Internet Day is an annual event that promotes the safe, responsible and positive use of the internet.

There are a large number of articles that link with being online. This week’s activities have a particular focus on Article 19, the right to protection from harm and Article 17, the right to reliable information.

The internet can be a great place but needs to be used carefully.
