Staying Safe Online

A free, 90-minute workshop that helps seniors spot scams, protect their information, and feel confident using their computers and phones.

Delivered onsite by the Lumabit team – we make learning digital skills simple, friendly, and fun.

Seniors learning online safety

What the workshop covers

  • Spot scams and phishing emails
  • Use strong passwords and manage accounts safely
  • Recognise safe websites and pop-ups
