Using Social Media Safely - Access Data Taster Session

How can you protect yourself and your family when using social media? Based on advice from the National Cyber Security Centre, we will highlight some of the current social engineering cyber-attacks related to COVID-19 and show you the steps to take to protect yourself.

You’ll see live demonstrations of attacks and learn how to spot them. Then you'll get the chance to get your own cybersecurity questions answered.

These tips will help you feel more confident about using a computer safely. No technical knowledge is required to take part.
