Fraud and Cybercrime Summary – Hillingdon – Jan 2021

Please see attached the latest Fraud and Cybercrime Summary for our Borough.

Money lost through scams is literally wasted money – it can be lost in a click, but these losses can be avoided simply be being aware of the latest scams and tricks that could come your way by email, text or phone call.

Let’s all be cyber-aware and try to bring down the total lost to scammers each month on our Borough – the attached chart shows a clear peak in the period before Christmas when online activity is at its highest, but the amount lost in January – half a million on Hillingdon alone – is worthy of everyone’s attention.

Hillingdon Adult Learning update – February 2022

The past couple of academic years have been difficult for everyone with the pressures and restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with Hillingdon Adult and Community Learning (HACL) we were able to adapt by using a blended approach to how we offer our courses.

Some have been held in person, at one of our four centres or in various community locations across the borough and over the past year, we’ve also offered many courses online.
You don’t need to have qualifications or experience for many of the courses we offer, and where you do, we have a trained team that can identify the course that’s your best fit and help get you enrolled, too.

Our adult learning courses offer you the opportunity to develop skills, to change career paths, to get onto the employment ladder, to start a new hobby, begin a new vocation or even support your health and wellbeing.

The programme is for adults aged 19 and above, and offers something for everyone, with levels ranging from beginners to intermediate and onto advanced if you’re really getting into the experience.

In addition, new courses are added regularly. Many of those who have done our courses have spoken of the opportunities that they have experienced by learning to grow in confidence, knowledge and skills in their personal, academic and working lives.
Why not take a look at the courses we have on offer?  Find out more
