About our SID activities
Safer Internet Day 2025 will take place on the 11 of February 2025, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online‘
Safer Internet Day is the UK’s biggest celebration of online safety. Each year we cover 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 we will assess the real scale of this issue and allow young people to share their experiences and ideas on how to tackle the problem. We’ll 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?
- What changes would young people like to see to help protect themselves moving forward?
Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre, the celebration sees thousands of organisations get involved to promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.
What we are doing to create a better internet...
We are running our SID 2025 campaign under the slogan 'Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online'.
We are aiming to start national conversations about scams online and the experiences young people have of them.
We are engaging with a wide range of stakeholders - from government and policy makers to schools and corporate organisations and NGOs to promote the safe and responsible use of technology.
We aim to reach children and young people, parents and carers, the children's workforce to encourage these conversations to happen. We have education packs, quizzes, top tips and many more resources to support those who want to get involved across the four nations in UK.
About us
The UK Safer Internet Centre (UKSIC), established in 2011, is a leading global partnership helping to make the internet a great and safe place for everyone.
We provide support and services to children and young people, adults facing online harms, and professionals working with children.
A bridge between Government, industry, law enforcement and society, we are the engine of the online protection landscape in the UK, dealing with both prevention and response.
We are unique. Formed of three charities, Childnet, Internet Watch Foundation and SWGfL, we work together to identify threats and harms online and then create and deliver critical advice, resources, education and interventions that help keep children and young people, and adults, safe. We share our best practices across the UK and globally.
We focus our work around four functions:
- An awareness centre: Where we provide advice and support to children and young people, parents and carers, schools, and the children’s workforce.
- Three helplines: Which provide support to professionals working with children and young people with online safety issues, and support to all adults facing issues with harmful content and non-consensual intimate imagery online.
- A hotline: Which provides an anonymous and safe place to report and remove online child sexual abuse images and videos wherever they are found in the world.
- A voice to young people: We operate a Youth Advisory Board, and we nurture youth participation, providing a focus on youth voice to give young people agency to make a difference in their school communities.
UKSIC is the proud coordinator of Safer Internet Day in the UK. For more information on the next Safer Internet Day and how you can get involved, visit the website.
We work alongside 30 other centres across the European continent. Since 2022, we have been part-funded by Nominet – the public benefit company that operates and protects .UK internet infrastructure and uses surplus funds to support projects that promote digital inclusion. Prior to that, we were appointed and part-funded by the European Commission as the Safer Internet Centre for the UK.
