PC Thompson visits Charlotte Straker House

We organised an important presentation recently on “Door Step Safety and Scam Prevention” for our residents, both those in Charlotte Straker House and those who live in the supported living bungalows in our grounds. PC Charlotte Thompson from Northumbria Police led the session, and gave reassuring hints and tips on how to recognise the different scams operating at the moment.

Some of our residents use mobile phones or iPads so it was very useful to take part in an exercise on the types of trick messages they might receive. The bungalow residents discussed what to do if they suspected a door step visitor wasn’t legitimate, and how they could call for help from our care home team.

hank you very much to PC Thompson for such an enlightening and supportive session – which definitely reassured and encouraged our residents.
