Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts recently visited Citizens Advice North East Derbyshire in Clay Cross to learn more about its Digital Connect project, which supports residents across North East Derbyshire, Bolsover and Chesterfield to build digital skills, access technology and confidently navigate online services.
The project helps people overcome digital exclusion by providing practical support on everything from accessing NHS and government services to developing computer skills, using online banking and learning how to stay safe online. Internet safety is a key part of the support on offer, helping residents build confidence in the digital world.
The visit forms part of Cyber Security Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of helping people access the opportunities the digital world provides while understanding how to protect themselves from fraud, cyber crime and online harm. 🔒
As the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners' National Joint Lead for Economic and Cyber Crime, Fraud and Online Safety, Nicolle is committed to supporting initiatives that help people stay connected, informed and secure online. 🤝
By working together with community organisations such as Citizens Advice, we can help ensure more people have the skills, confidence and knowledge they need to make the most of digital services and stay safe while doing so.

More than 50 women have completed empowerment workshops co-designed by survivors of domestic abuse to protect them from becoming future victims.
Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts provided £5k from her Safer and Stronger Communities Fund to Derby-based non-profit organisation Community One for its Empower Her project.
The programme was designed to address violence against women and girls (VAWG) in Black and Asian communities, raising awareness and building resilience among young women aged 12-21 through a series of eight peer-led and culturally sensitive workshops.
It culminated in a large-scale community event attended by more than 200 women, community leaders, families and statutory services, creating a platform for intergenerational dialogue around violence against women and girls (VAWG).
The project has also involved the development of a Community Ambassador network, training women as leaders to support their peers and challenge harmful cultural norms.
Twelve ambassadors are already training and six are actively delivering support.
Prior to the workshop launching, awareness of signs of abuse among the cohort was 32%, which increased to 78% following delivery. Additionally, confidence rose from 28% pre-workshop to 72%.
