Fraud and Doorstep Crime Awareness Training
Historically, doorstep crime and scam prevention was aimed at the victims themselves, with the Police and other organisations using leaflets and meetings to pass advice onto older and vulnerable people. Unfortunately leaflets are often discarded and those in need of the message may not have capacity to remember what they were told the previous day.
The principal aim of Operation REPEAT is to allow key messages to vulnerable clients to be continually reinforced on a daily or weekly basis by Health and Social Care sector staff.
By utilising the existing community workforce to deliver this advice, there is an increased awareness of these crimes within the community and a more targeted approach at prevention.
Reg Burrell is an ex-police officer who has received funding to deliver scam awareness training specifically for adult social care. He has just received another years funding and can deliver across the Midlands (and wider). Those who have attended have given excellent feedback and when he recently came to a Skills for Care regional meeting the delegates were very keen for him to offer training to their staff teams.
He can go into providers but also deliver sessions in geographical areas but is also running an in-person training event on 15th May in Northamptonshire. Read more about the training here.
