Hathersage in the Peak District

Derbyshire County Council (DCC) are working with Derbyshire Police and the Derbyshire Education Data Hub to host a series of free public webinars in October. Four key behaviours are being promoted to internet users to help keep them safe from Cybercrime:

• strong passwords and password management
• multi-factor authentication
• recognising and reporting phishing
• updating software

DCC has webinars planned to take place across the month; all are free to attend. The target audience is different for each webinar. Residents can sign up using the following links:

• Cyber Security Webinar for Businesses on Wednesday 4 October 2023 (details and link yet to be published)
• Cyber Security Webinar for Schools on Tuesday 10 October from 4pm to 4.30pm
• Cyber Security Webinar for the General Public on Friday 20 October from 6.30pm to 7.30pm
• Cyber Security Webinar for Parents and Grandparents on Wednesday 26 October from 6.30pm to 7.30pm

All links are available at Cyber Security Awareness Month (saferderbyshire.gov.uk)

With only three confirmed attendees this event was not viable. The Parish Council will look at the feasibility (volunteer numbers; shared costs) of running a scheme jointly with a neighbouring parish council and update residents in due course.
