Wiltshire Bobby Van – Stay Safe Online!
For those aged over 60 or 18+ with a registered disability, one of our trained Stay Safe Online Volunteers can visit you in the comfort of your home and provide the following:
- Improve your digital/cyber security awareness;
- Offer cyber and scam prevention advice;
- Signpost you to future advice and resources;
- Provide support and reassurance; and,
- Offer basic practical skills to enable you to check and understand privacy settings
People can refer themselves for a visit, but the team will also be taking referrals from the police for those who have already encountered problems with online crime.
Advisors are also available to give talks at community events.
If you would like to arrange an appointment with, or talk from, an Stay Safe Online Volunteers please email our Online Safety Team direct at:
or call them on: 01225256867
“Thank you for inviting me along to the Volunteers’ Training Day. I found it very thought provoking, and realised that there is a genuine need for this service in the community. This applies particularly to the elderly, who, like me, are not conversant with computers, and could easily be hoodwinked by some of these clever scams.”
