I have now taken down the SCAMWhere? display at Chesterfield Library.
I have dropped in some of my SCAMWhere? leaflets and staying safe online information leaflets for anyone who would like to pop in and take a couple.

Throughout the summer holidays it is important to set aside some time to have conversations with friends, family, children and even as part of a community group about scams, how to stay safe online and the importance of talking and reporting our experiences.

Arrived a little early at Chesterfield Library but I always look forward to helping Communities be more scam aware.
I will also be joined by Derbyshire Police Online Safety so there will be plenty of information and advice at hand.
