Staying Safe in a Changing World is a Family Financial Safety Resource created to help people protect themselves from financial fraud and exploitation, together with the people they trust.
For some, that may be family. For others, it may be a close friend, neighbour, or another trusted person who is part of their support circle.
It isn't about knowing every scam or trying to keep up with every new threat.
It’s about having a simple plan to follow when something doesn't feel right and making sure the people you trust know what to do.
Because when something unexpected happens, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Staying safe is easier when we stay connected.
