Protect yourself from fraud
We've created new resources for 16+ to help understand the changing nature of financial scams and how to stay one step ahead.
Back
We want to share our new video resources on financial safety (scams in particular). The new resources have expanded the current suite of resources and are designed to help young people develop awareness and understanding of financial fraud.
Our aim is to give parents, teachers, community leaders, educators, employers, charities and other supporters the skills and tools to educate and protect children and young adults (3 - 25 years).
We have created this series of videos specifically to address three common scams* that provide young people with the knowledge, and support should they find themselves in these scenarios.
Each of our resources have been designed to be delivered either face-to-face or virtually - and in a one-to-one or group setting. Content is broken down into smaller sections that can be delivered in bite-size sessions or delivered in a full session or series of events. The resources are flexible, so you can pick and choose how you want to deliver the content in a way that suits your circumstances.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
- 16-25 year olds are now as likely to fall for digital scams as the over 70s
- 69% of young people worry about money
- One quarter of people with disabilities ending up in financial hardship
