We are trying to make it easier for people to learn how to stay safe and secure online. We are doing this by providing accessible guidance and a range of ways to learn and we have recruited disabled people to help us extend the reach of our work. Contact cyberproject@lead.org.uk to find out more about our project and how we could support you:
We regularly meet with National Cyber Security Centre staff (NCSC), translating their guidance into accessible formats such as Easy Read, BSL and community languages. We are part of the Cyber Scotland partnership and extend the reach of our work through their quarterly campaigns. The Cyber Scotland website has a a dedicated section for Third Sector organisations. Other partners who support our work are the Scottish Government, Police Scotland the Take Five campaign and disabled people’s organisations. In May 2025 our CEO spoke at the 2024 Cyber UK conference to extend the reach of our project.
Which? have kindly allowed us to share an Easy Read version of their article about how to stay safe on dating websites and apps: Easy Read Romance Scams.
117 People from 22 local authority areas responded to our post training feedback survey:
“Very clear and easy to understand trainer”
“It was particularly useful to see how to make changes in practice using examples”
“The tutor was great and very engaging”
The project has an Advisory Group of partners and organisations that meets four times a year to ensure we are working in a joined-up way to close any gaps in information about cyber resilience and digital accessibility, and extend our reach with training and alternative formats.
We are grateful to the Scottish Government Cyber Resilience Unit which supports this project.
