Safer Internet Day 2026 takes place on 10th February 2026, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI’.
Everyone’s talking about AI, and with many children and young people hearing about and using AI online, it’s important they have the skills and confidence to make safe choices when they are using smart technology.
This Safer Internet Day there will be an exploration of the impact of AI on all of our lives, looking at how AI can be used for good, and giving advice and guidance that empowers people to use AI safely and responsibly.
The UK Safer Internet Centre has free educational resources to help schools and youth groups talk about this issue with young people of all ages, covering a range of issues from looking at voice assistants and chatbots, to exploring some of the ethical considerations in responsible use of AI technology. There are also tips and advice for parents, carers and grandparents covering how to talk about AI, helping them to use new technology in safe and responsible ways.
Register as a Safer Internet supporter on their website.
