To celebrate Safer Internet Day (SID), UPC Ireland launched a new interactive E-Safety website - esafetykit.net on Safer Internet Day, 9th February 2010.
The website is based on the E-Safety Toolkit which has been translated into eleven languages with over 300,000 copies printed and distributed across eighteen countries.
The main objective behind SID is to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology, especially amongst children and young people.
This is the third consecutive year that UPC has been engaged in SID and this year they have taken the toolkit to the next level by making it fully interactive for all stakeholders and creating a comprehensive tool guide for teachers to include in their school curriculum. The website which focuses on four topics – security, communication, entertainment, cyberbullying – creates an educational outlet while making it fun, engaging and non-threatening through games, downloads, quizzes, golden rules, tips and teacher/parent sections.
