Safer Internet Day 2025
Protecting children from online scams
In 2025, Safer Internet Day is on Tuesday, 11 February.
Help children navigate online scams and keep themselves safe with a range of resources for parents below.

What is this year’s theme?
This year, the theme for Safer Internet Day is ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online.’
The UK Safer Internet Centre (UKSIC) consulted young people across the UK to arrive at this theme. Their goal is to “assess the real scale of scams online and allow young people to share their experiences and ideas on how to tackle the problem.”
Safer Internet Day 2025 will also raise awareness around financial sextortion and the future of scams. UKSIC aims to answer the following questions as well:
- How is changing technology like generative AI going to impact the approach of scammers?
- What role can the government and internet industry tale to tackle this threat?
- And what changes would young people like to see to help protect themselves moving forward?
