The scheme involves people using a unique card if an unexpected caller comes to the door of an elderly or vulnerable person.
The card will refer the caller to a 'Nominated Neighbour' who will come back with the visitor and supervise the visit.
The idea is that when an unexpected caller comes to the door the card should be passed through the letterbox, shown at a window or through the gap in a chained door.
The occupant will be encouraged not to enter into a conversation with the caller or open the door, but to just hand over or show the card. It is hoped this will deter a potential bogus caller immediately and they will leave the area. A genuine caller will not mind following the instructions on the card.
Volunteers are sought from the community to act as a Nominated Neighbour for elderly or vulnerable people living near them. |
