Safer Internet Day 2026 💻
Safer Internet Day is today and is a useful moment to pause and think about how young people experience life online. What happens on the internet does not stay online and can have a real impact on wellbeing, relationships and everyday life.
At Essex Youth Service, we support young people to talk about their online experiences, build confidence and feel safe asking questions in trusted spaces. Through our digital youth work offer, young people can access youth workers in moderated online environments designed to be welcoming and supportive.
If you would like to find out more about our digital youth work sessions and how young people can get involved, please visit the Digital Youth Work page: https://youth.essex.gov.uk/join-us-online/
