Westminster

Online Safety Accelerator

After our successful digital accelerator, we launched a two-week Online Safety Accelerator to meet high demand, equipping participants to navigate the digital world securely.

Project overview

Following the broader digital inclusion programme, online safety emerged as a highly sought-after skill in Westminster’s underserved communities. Residents wanted more in-depth knowledge to manage online interactions confidently. Ubuntu Pledge delivered a focused two-week, in-person accelerator with practical basic to medium-level online safety training.

What we did

Delivered an intensive, practical programme addressing common concerns and building everyday digital defences.
Online scams and phishing: identifying scams, phishing emails and fraudulent websites.
Data privacy: understanding personal data, privacy settings and how information is shared.
Secure online habits: strong passwords, two-factor authentication, safe browsing and recognising suspicious links or downloads.
Responsible social media use: safe interactions, privacy implications of posts and online reputation.

Results

Eight residents completed the programme.
