Money Mules Awareness Wales - Free Economic Wellbeing Education Resource Pack

Don’t Be Fooled is a partnership between UK Finance and Cifas. It aims to inform young people about the risks of giving out their bank details, and deter them from becoming money mules.

A money mule is someone who receives stolen money into their bank account and transfers it into another account, keeping some of the cash for themselves. Criminals need money mules to launder the profits of their crimes. Being a money mule is illegal.

Don’t Be Fooled has teamed up with education resource centre, iChild, to develop a free economic wellbeing education resource pack for your school, to make it easy for you to teach your pupils about the dangers and consequences of becoming a money mule. The resources contain positive messages on how students can stay safe online and in person, protect their financial privacy and protect friends and family. There are cross-curricular supporting activities covering Languages, Literacy and Communication and Expressive Arts, to appeal to all types of learners at your school. Both primary resources (for pupils aged 10 - 11) and secondary resources (for pupils aged 11 - 14) are available.

Schools in Wales will receive teaching resources in both Welsh and English languages.

The details you provide will only be used by iChild to provide you with your resources and to keep you updated about the activity. Your details will not be passed on to any other 3rd party.
