Reach out if you're in trouble.

One choice. Two futures.

Talk to your parents, youth officers, teachers, Crimestoppers, NSPCC or friends.

You can report any concerns anonymously to Fearless if you think someone may be carrying a knife or encouraging others to do so.

Fraud alert: Police impersonation scam ⚠️

We’ve received a handful of reports this week across the district of fraudsters contacting residents and pretending to be the police.

These callers claim your bank account is at risk, and say things such as, 'we're investigating a fraud on your bank account', or 'you need to withdraw money out from a cash machine so we can look at the serial numbers', the caller may also ask you to transfer money or share sensitive details.

Remember:

👉 The police will never ask you to move money or reveal PINs/passwords.
👉 They will not ask you to withdraw cash or hand it over.
👉 If you’re unsure, hang up, wait a few minutes, then call 101 (or 999 in an emergency) to verify.

Protect yourself:

✅ Never share personal or banking details with unexpected callers.
✅ Contact your bank directly using a trusted number if you’re worried.

Please share this warning with friends, family, and neighbours to help keep everyone safe.
