This resource has been jointly produced by CCEA and the Consumer Council on behalf of the ScamwiseNI partnership. The activities aim to help pupils recognise that online content isn’t always honest or reliable. They will learn how they can protect themselves, family, friends, schoolmates, neighbours and people living in their community.
