Safer Internet Day (SID) is celebrated globally in February each year to promote the safe and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.
This year’s theme is An internet we trust: identifying suitable sources of information and appropriate websites and to celebrate SID 2021 The Leigh UTC in partnership with National Online Safety invites entries from all the students in KS3, KS4 & KS5. The competition aims to encourage young people to use their creativity in a visual, written or auditory format to explain what misinformation is, why it might be a problem, how we can recognise it, how to identify suitable sources of information, what we can do to protect ourselves and how to stop its spread.
