Safer Internet Day 2012 – Tuesday February 7 2012
THE CANADIAN CENTRE FOR CHILD PROTECTION:
WORKING WITH PARENTS TO INCREASE THE ONLINE SAFETY OF CHILDREN

On February 7, 2012, Safer Internet Day, countries around the world will be promoting safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially among children and young people. In Canada, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection has created a unique, one-stop Internet safety website – The Door that’s Not Locked – to help parents, teachers and anyone else with children in their lives learn about ways to keep kids safe.
