Protecting Against Online Fraud and Scams |
Description:
Developing young people’s core transferable skills gives them the tools to manage money, understand risk and build good financial habits throughout their life. Through LifeSkills sessions we introduce aspects of finance from an early age (primary) and encourage young people to explore mathematical concepts through real world examples. Financial education is important to help young people build their knowledge for future financial wellbeing.
DYW Context:
We recognise the challenges faced by young people leaving school with low aspirations and at risk of negative destination. Financial vulnerability, alongside the need to build a skilled workforce is an essential area of support Barclays LifeSkills can provide. We work with young people to give them the confidence, skills, and knowledge they need to succeed.
Certificate:
Your learners can receive their own Certificate of Achievement signed by Ollie Bray for attending our sessions. All they need to do is complete the learner's feedback form which will be put in the chat at the end of every session. The certificate will include their name and the course they attended, and will be sent to their Glow email (and the Teacher's if filled in). Please note these must be completed individually by learners and unfortunately cannot be filled out on behalf of the whole class by the Teacher.
