'Too good to be true? Safer Internet Day 2025. Tuesday 11 February. protecting yourself and others from scams online. Saferinternetday.org.uk Coordinated by the UK Safer Internet Centre.'

Safer Internet Day is the UK’s biggest celebration of online safety. Each year it covers an online issue or theme that speaks about the things young people are seeing and experiencing online. Created in consultation with young people across the UK, this year Safer Internet Day will be focusing 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.

 

This Safer Internet Day will assess the real scale of this issue and allow young people to share their experiences and ideas on how to tackle the problem. This will build on the important work being done to raise awareness of issues such as online financial sextortion and we’ll also consider the future of scams, answering questions such as:

 

  • 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?
  • And what changes would young people like to see to help protect themselves moving forward?
