The Premier League Primary Stars programme have launched their new weekly challenge titled Internet Detectives which is helping to mark Safer Internet Day 2021 taking place on Tuesday 9th February.

The challenge has been created with the support of ChildNet and with many youngsters using the internet more than ever at the moment, due to online learning from home during the national lockdown, it is even more important that we are staying safe and happy while online.

This week the PLPS team are asking young students to become Internet Detectives to carefully research their football hero, finding out as much information as they can about their background, career so far and greatest achievements – creating your very own factfile.

Radio and TV Presenter Katie Thistleton has helped to put this challenge together, creating a Top Tips video about staying safe online, which you can take a look at here.
