From Monday 7th June North Wales Police will be launching an online public survey for the women of North Wales to tell us how safe they feel in their communities and to share any experiences they have had.

Their feedback is key to identifying where we need to improve and to show we are willing to listen. The survey is anonymous and contains contact numbers for various support agencies.

The Older People’s Commission for Wales has launched a new website to help older people who are being abused , or those at risk, find the information, advice and support they need.

Using the new website, older people, as well as their family and friends, can easily search for services and support in their local area that can help them if they are experiencing abuse, are concerned they might be at risk, or are concerned about someone else. They can also find details of key national organisations and more specialised services available, which in some cases offer round the clock support. https://abusesupportdirectory.wales/

The following 7 minute briefings are available to view via the resources web page:

• Scams Awareness Fortnight 2021

Please see below the latest update:

North Wales Safeguarding Board will be supporting  the 2021 Scams Awareness Campaign, which will take place from 14 – 27 June. This annual campaign is all about creating a network of confident, #ScamAware citizens who are able to recognise a scam, report it to the appropriate agency and talk about their experiences to help raise public awareness of scams.

The coronavirus pandemic has made it even more important to empower the public to protect themselves against scams. Last year, we saw an increase in scams relating to coronavirus as fraudsters tried to take advantage of all the uncertainty of the pandemic. As we move towards economic recovery, scams continue to be a prevalent issue, with scammers seeking to exploit the fall out of the pandemic.
