Safer Internet Day 2009

by abevan on 3 February, 2009

SID Safer Internet Day 2009 will be celebrated on Tuesday 10th February.
This International annual event, which is organised by European internet safety network (INSAFE) and is co-funded by the European Commissions Safer Internet Programme, takes place every February to promote safe and responsible use of the internet and mobile phone technologies, especially amongst children and young people.
The Office for Internet Safety has produced an information leaflet on Internet safety as well as an Internet Safety bookmark. These were distributed to each Library Authority and will be available in public libraries on Safer Internet Day.
For further information on activities in Ireland for Safer Internet Day 2009, Please see www.webwise.ie.
The Office for Internet Safety also recently published a booklet on cyberbullying which was launched on December 9 2008 by the Minister for Justice, Equality & Law Reform, Mr. Dermot Ahern T.D. You can read more about the launch and download the booklet here.
