Safer Internet Day 2026

We’re proud to be supporting #SaferInternetDay 2026, taking place today across the UK. This annual event brings together schools, organisations, families, and communities to talk about how young people use the internet – what they enjoy, what challenges they face, and what can help them stay safe and make positive choices online.

This year’s Safer Internet Day UK focuses on the everyday risks that AI poses to children and young people, particularly how it can be used to exploit misinformation and to manipulate, these challenges aren’t just limited to younger audiences. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, it’s increasingly important for all of us to stay alert, informed, and scrutinise the content we encounter.

We’ve gathered a selection of free resources that everyone can access, offering guidance that spans both local support and broader digital safety advice. These materials are designed to help those working with vulnerable adults and young people navigate the changing online landscape, while also supporting individuals to build their own confidence in spotting risks, questioning what they see, and making informed choices. Whether you’re supporting others or simply looking to strengthen your everyday digital resilience, these tools provide practical, accessible ways to stay safer online.
