DigitalMe have developed a new resource, Safe Family, especially for Safer Internet Day on the 7th February 2012.

Inspired by the theme "Connecting Generations", Safe Family Activities encourage people of all ages to share their experiences of staying safe through completing practical tasks together on a social network. The activities are perfect for people new to social networking, both young and old, and are designed to allow families to share their concerns, skills and experiences of social networking.

The Safe Family resources include three simple tasks; creating a safe profile, blogging about staying safe online, how to safely connect with others and leaving comments. These free resources can be downloaded from the Safe website and so far schools, libraries and families across the country have accessed them and will receive their Safe Family Certificate to celebrate their achievements on completion of the tasks.

Buckingham Primary School will be running the activities on Safer Internet Day and creating a case study to showcase the session. The pupils have been completing the Safe resources in class, so Safe Family will provide them with the chance to share their new knowledge with parents and grandparents. Buckingham pupils have already been sharing their knowledge online, through a special Safe rap!
