The theme for Safer Internet Day 2025 focuses on the issues of scams and sextortion in the digital world that children and young people now face through technology, how to protect them and what support is available.
Main topics this year are:
- How is changing technology like generative AI going to impact the approach of scammers?
- What role can the government and internet industry take to tackle this threat?
- What changes would young people like to see to help protect themselves moving forward?
Online scams and sextortion are real scale issues students face today so SID25 is a great way to start conversations and offer practical advice and resource.
The Securus Safeguarding Team are finding more captures relating to these issues and school customers have been alerted to incidents of concern when detected by our Full Monitoring Service.
Over the years, Safer Internet Day has become a landmark event for UK schools and education establishments, with a hub of resources for children of all ages to get involved. You can find out more via the link below:
