• Red Card/Green Card Printout

  POLICE ADVICE from NPCC (National Police Chiefs Council):

  How to stay safe when accepting help from others:

  • If you are receiving voluntary help do not share financial details like credit/debit card numbers or personal information.

  • If someone you don’t know calls at your home, always ask for ID and always ensure you are comfortable sharing details like your phone number or address.

  • Only provide information on a need to know basis and if you have seen ID. Do not feel pressured into providing information.

  • If you have doubts about those who are approaching you, and are concerned, it is advised that you don’t engage, and report serious suspicious behaviour to the police.

  • Remember that genuine volunteers have been instructed not to enter your home and should all have documentation proving their status.
