Safer Internet Day 2026 Planning Event Scotland (hybrid)

The UK Safer Internet Centre would like to invite you to a special event preparing for Safer Internet Day 2026 in Scotland. Presenters including the UK Safer Internet Centre, the Scottish AI Alliance and Children's Parliament will help to inspire and enthuse attendees from across Scotland about the role we can all play in supporting Safer Internet Day. Join us in person in Edinburgh or online!

Celebrated in around 170 countries, Safer Internet Day aims to empower children and young people to use technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively. Last year 57% of UK children and half of parents heard about the day. Let’s reach all children and young people across Scotland!
