Over 40% of all reported crime is now categorised as online fraud. A third of Neighbourhood Watch members believe cybercrime is more of a threat today than physical crime, and over half see it as similar.
That's why we created Cyberhood Watch. This project, supported by our partner Avast, is about educating and protecting vulnerable people against the increasing threat of cyber harm. Our Cyberhood Watch Ambassadors provide local information, advice and practical tips to protect people from online scams and security threats.
What do Cyberhood Ambassadors do?
Ambassadors educate, help and protect people. They share information, answer cybersecurity questions and concerns, and deliver Cyberhood Watch events and activities.
Get involved
Neighbourhood Watch members can become Cyberhood Watch Ambassadors by receiving training in cybersecurity prevention and keeping up to date with the latest cybersecurity issues. Trained Ambassadors then receive Cyberhood Watch accreditation and ongoing support.
