Supporting Safer Internet Day
Safer Internet Day (8th February) marks an important point to highlight the work across policing to keep people safe from harm, in line with the National Policing Digital Strategy and the UK Government’s Cyber Security Strategy.
The Government is running a number of campaigns targeted at vulnerable audiences. We would be grateful if you could share campaign materials and messaging on your channels, and with your networks.
You can also find out how the Police Digital Service (PDS) is working to tackle cybersecurity risks and threats to policing and the public. A case study of a fake website, found by the PDS’ National Management Centre (NMC), highlights the ever-present dangers to the public.
UK Government initiatives

All children have a right to be safe from sexual abuse, and we all have a role to play in keeping them safe. Let’s #StopAbuseTogether.
The #YouAreNotAlone campaign aims to raise awareness and signpost to information and support available for victims, family/friends and perpetrators of domestic abuse. You can visit the GOV.UK website and access campaign materials including a partner pack and translated assets.
