Tomorrow is officially "
Safer Internet Day", an idea agreed upon by sixteen European countries (including Australia). Its purpose is to raise awareness about the dangers of the Internet, with special focus on the protection of children:
Those behind the day want Government's to do more to provide information and tools to schools and families to help educate children about the dangers of being online.
They also believe that Governments should provide specific Internet safety training for teachers, social workers, librarians - in fact, anyone who works with children - in a bid to raise awareness.
Said even organisers in a statement: "The Safer Internet Day is the celebration of childrens right to a safer Internet. We want to explain what we do in order to defend childrens right to a safer Internet. We also want to remind people that it is the responsibility of all sectors in society to get involved together in order to guarantee this right."More @
