Safer Internet Day - Smart Tech, Safe Choices

Celebrate Safer Internet Day 2026 with new resources that explore how AI can be used safely and responsibly.

Summary

Celebrate Safer Internet Day 2026 with new resources about AI and how it can be used in a safe and responsible way, along with how to recognise potential risks.

This pack explores how AI-generated information, images or messages may be misleading, unkind or unsafe, and helps students practise deciding on what action to take, supporting an ongoing conversation about digital safety.

This will help pupils develop critical thinking skills so they can use AI tools in positive, responsible ways.   

This content has been created with the support of UK Safer Internet Centre and Childnet. 

Don’t forget to share any images with us for the gallery by tagging @PLCommunities on X, using #PLPrimaryStars or email PLPrimaryStars@premierleague.com.

Pupils will be able to:

  • describe safe and unsafe uses of AI
  • explain why AI-generated information, images or messages should not always be trusted
  • explain how to access help and support when something goes wrong with AI.
