This year, Safer Internet Day’s theme is Too Good To Be True and focused a lot on avoiding scams.

We also watched a play produced by the NSPCC about the dangers of sharing images online. You should never share photos which give away your personal information. If you’re ever unsure about anything, talk to a trusted adult.
We also looked at misinformation, disinformation and hoaxes. Challenge your child to define these terms and give an example!
