Aim: This webinar discusses some of the most prevalent financial scams and exploitation schemes that children and young people might encounter online. It outlines strategies that schools can use to empower pupils with the knowledge and critical thinking skills to navigate the digital space safely.

Why this webinar’s important: According to a UK Finance report, some sort of online vulnerability is now exploited in almost every scam – including those involving virtual currency, which has become one of the five riskiest areas for younger internet users. As our everyday transactions increasingly move into the online space, it’s important that today’s young people are adequately prepared to recognise and react to the internet scams they are highly likely to encounter in the future.
