I’m not sure I agree with the concept of a Safer Internet Day any more. I suppose it could be good as a reminder, but sometime sI wonder if it’s a bit like the problem with some schools’ online safety policy — that is, shoved in a drawer in a filing cabinet in the Head’s office, to be wheeled out when the inspector calls.

Still, several organizations offer classroom resources for Safer Internet Day 2025, which is today, February 11, 2025.

1. UK Safer Internet Centre: They provide free, official resources tailored for different age groups (3-7, 7-11, 11-14, and 14-18 years old). These include presentation slides, activities, and whole-school assembly materials.

2. BBC Teach: They offer teaching resources for both primary and secondary pupils.

3. All About STEM: They provide resource packs focusing on this year's theme, "Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online".

4. Tes: This platform offers lesson plans, activities, and advice for teaching primary and secondary students about web safety.

5. Purple Mash by 2Simple: They have created special resources for Safer Internet Day, including activities linked to this year's theme.

6. SWGfL: They offer free downloadable resources designed by online safety experts.

These resources cover various aspects of online safety, including protecting oneself from scams, understanding personal information sharing, and recognizing signs of online threats. Many are available in multiple languages, including Welsh and Irish.
