Almost 200,000 people participated in Safer Internet Day in Ireland! The SID Awards are an opportunity to recognise, and reward, the brilliant campaigns and activities that students and schools undertake to promote safe, responsible and positive use of the internet and digital technologies.

Activities addressed a range of online safety and digital citizenship topics including cyberbullying, image sharing, privacy, online wellbeing, rights online and much more!

There was an incredibly high standard this year, and the Webwise Team would like to thank all who entered the Safer Internet Day Awards 2023.
