Safer Internet Day - 5 Feb - resources and competition

It's Safer Internet Day on 5 February 2019 with the theme this year of:

Together for a better internet

Coordinated by the UK Safer Internet Centre the celebration sees hundreds of organisations get involved to help promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.

Calling all budding writers in Warwickshire, aged 6 to 17 years old!

To celebrate the day, Warwickshire County Council and partner organisations are running a competition for young creative writers. We want them to give other young people advice on how to keep safer online. And by ‘online’, we mean when using smart phones, consoles, tablets and computers.

This is the second year of the competition which is open to children and young people aged 6 to 17 years old, living or attending school in Warwickshire. 

There was a fantastic response last year, with over 200 entries and it would be great to exceed that number in 2019.  With great prizes to be won for the individual and their classmates, it is too good an opportunity to miss.
