Mid-teens Scam Resilience Guidance

You know about the wider freedoms for social media app access for Australian young people at age 16.

Many teenagers are not yet equipped to spot and avoid the scam attempts found in social media apps.

And even while under 16, mid-teens need the know-how to responsibly protect their personal information & online accounts through their milestone ‘legal firsts’.

And not forgetting the ever-present online shopping & its risks!

Savvy to Scams works with organisations, schools and families preparing adolescents for more secure independence.
