Wellington AFC are proud to be supporting Safer Internet Day on 9th February 2021.
Safer Internet Day is celebrated globally in February each year to promote the safe and positive use of digital technology for children and young people and inspire a national conversation. The theme this year is – An internet we trust; exploring reliability in the online world.
The campaign focuses on how we can know what to trust online, supporting young people to question, challenge and change the online world. It will explore how influence, persuasion and manipulation can impact young people’s decisions, opinions and what they share online.

A reminder to all Wellington AFC members that if you or your child have any safeguarding concerns, you can refer these to our Club Welfare Officer, Colin Waller, or if it’s urgent you should call the NSPCC 24-hour helpline on 0808 800 5000 and if it is an emergency because a child or children are at immediate risk, then you should call the Police or Children’s Social Care.
