We're Proud to Sponsor Safer Internet Day 2025.
At Tesco Mobile, we're excited to sponsor Safer Internet Day on 11th February 2025 and help you and your family stay safe online.
Research by the UK Safer Internet Centre (UKSIC) reveals that 79% of young people come across online scams at least monthly, with 20%, including children as young as 8, seeing scams online every day.
We have a number of resources to help you and your family stay informed. This is why we are proud sponsors of Safer Internet Day 2025.
Start by refreshing your knowledge on how the apps and websites they use work and how to use them safely with our free Little Digital Helps toolkit created in partnership with Internet Matters. It offers tailored advice on parental controls to help protect children from harmful content, including scams.
We also encourage families to have conversations about online safety at home. Check out our Conversation Starters to help you begin.
Visit your local Tesco Mobile store for practical advice on setting up your devices safely. Our team is here to help!
We're here to help.
We know it can be hard to find time to talk with your kids about the things that matter. For many of us, mealtimes are one of the few moments we have for a proper family chat.
That’s why we’ve created resources to help parents have more approachable and meaningful conversations about online safety during dinner.
Working with child psychologist Dr. Martha Deiros Collado and online safety experts Internet Matters, we’ve developed a range of simple, helpful questions for parents. Perfect for sparking discussions around the dinner table or wherever you feel most comfortable, they cover all the important topics – from gaming to social media..
Don’t make a meal out of the online safety chat. Download and start your conversation today.

We now also sponsor ‘Digital Matters’. This is Internet Matters’ interactive platform that provides teachers with everything they need to teach online safety to 9-11 year-olds.
