About Safer Internet Day 2025
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 includes covering:
- How young people and the adults supporting them can protect themselves and others from scams
- The scale of this issue and different types of scams that young people may experience
- The future of scams and the impact of changing technology like generative AI
- How the government and internet industry can help tackle this threat
- What changes young people would like to see to help protect themselves moving forward
