Work in progress

Free public resource

Plain-English cyber safety
for everyone in the UK

Cyber-advice.org.uk will be a free, independent, non-commercial resource helping individuals, families, young people and community organisations stay safer online — with no advertising, no data collection, and no commercial motive.

Too much cyber safety information is written for organisations. We're building this for people. Accessible, jargon-free guidance contributed by the cyber community, educators, charities and safeguarding professionals — freely available to all.
