Safer Internet Day 2021
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 inspire a national conversation. The theme this year is - An internet we trust; exploring reliability in the online world.
The campaign focuses on how we can know what to trust online, supporting young people to question, challenge and change the online world. It will explore how influence, persuasion and manipulation can impact young people’s decisions, opinions and what they share online.
We encourage you to share the information in the FA resources below with your children so it becomes part of a positive conversation across football.
