Welcome to the Safe and Sound
website |
The Safe and Sound Group is a multi-agency partnership made up
of Suffolk Police, Trading Standards, Age Concern, Suffolk ACRE,
The Pension Service, District and Borough Councils, Social Care
Services and related Suffolk County Council departments.
The Group has the following remit 'Keeping people feeling safe
and confident in their homes'.
Safe and Sound receives funding from Crime and Disorder
Reduction Partnerships and Suffolk County Council, to finance
projects and publicity campaigns to reduce crime and fear of crime
that may affect older and/or vulnerable members of Suffolk
communities.
David Dyble, Chair of the Safe and Sound Group says: "Bogus
Callers and Rogue Traders are a blight on society. They tend to
prey on the older and m ore vulnerable members
of our communities. The reported instances of incidents that
involve Bogus Callers or Rogue Traders are relatively few in
comparison with other types of crime. However the emotional
effect on the victim, their relatives, friends and neighbours
cannot be underestimated. Everyone can play their part in
protecting our more vulnerable residents from these
criminals.”
