National Trading Standards Scams Team have worked together with The Involvement Matters Team at East Sussex County Council to make the Friends Against Scams (FAS) training and information leaflets more accessible for people with a learning disability.
FAS accessible training presentation
The resources include the FAS accessible training presentation.
The FAS accessible training will tell you about
- different types of scams
- how to protect yourself and others.
It might be a good idea to look at the FAS accessible training with a supporter.
This could be someone in your family, a friend, a carer or support staff.
Let’s talk about scams
The Embedded Conversation Leaflet talks about
- protecting yourself from scams
- how to spot scams
- where to get help with scams
You can find the leaflet near the bottom of thepage.
The Stop Loan Sharks Team has made an easy read leaflet about Loan Sharks. The leaflet will tell you what a loan shark is and how to get help and advice.
Keeping yourself safe
If you think you have been scammed you should tell your bank as soon as possible.
You could ask someone you trust to support you to do this.
