On Your Behalf: Exam Results and Scams

Exam Results and Scams

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Exam Results and Scams

How to decide on the next step after getting exam results - course choices, funding and accommodation.

Thousands of students got exam results this week and attention is already turning to the new term at universities and colleges. We discuss options and what families need to consider when it comes to choosing a course, accessing funding and finding somewhere to live. Louise Warde Hunter of Belfast Metropolitan College and Sarah Creighton of Housing Rights join Linda in studio to answer your questions.

Although many aspects of life and work are returning towards normal after the pandemic, it seems online meetings are here to stay. Scammers have adapted and the Financial Conduct Authority is warning against so-called screenshare scams. We find out what they are and how to avoid them. Superintendent Gerrard Pollock of the PSNI joins the programme with some advice for a listener who found themselves the victim of identity theft.
