Dear Watch Members,
Recently , Trading Standards launched the above scheme across the division. The scheme is aimed at protecting vulnerable people in our community and
uses a specially developed card. The card is shown to the caller by the vulnerable person without opening the door and advises any unidentified or unexpected caller to go to the address of a " Nominated Neighbour". This can be a friend or neighbour, who will check the callers identity and if they are genuine, return with them whilst the visit takes place.
Genuine callers will be happy to contact the " Nominated Neighbour" and bogus callers will fail to gain access
If anyone is interested in joining the scheme please forward details to myself and we can progress it from there.
Thank you
Jane Thirsk
