Safer Internet Day is the UK’s biggest celebration of online safety. Each year, the UK Safer Centre explore an online issue or theme that speaks about the things that children and young people are seeing and experiencing online.

This year, Safer Internet Day is focused on the issue of scams online and for young people, how to protect themselves and others, as well as what support is available to them.

At Alma, across all year groups and at an age appropriate level, the children are exploring:

• How is changing technology like generative AI going to impact the approach of scammers?
• What role can the government and internet industry take to tackle this threat?
• What changes would young people like to see to help protect themselves moving forward?

It is important for everyone to work together to promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.

We have attached some more information below about online scamming to support you and your families.
