Yesterday, we joined TVP Aylesbury Vale visiting hotels across Aylesbury Vale refreshing materials relating to Operation Makesafe.

This national initiative aims to prevent child sexual exploitation, specifically incidents which take place in hotels and other forms of accommodation within the hospitality industry. Find out more using the link in comments.

We will continue to work with local neighbourhood policing teams and police safeguarding leads across the county to support hotels with spotting the signs of exploitation.

We are excited to host a talk on Scam Awareness, presented by the Trading Standards Scam Champion, on Tuesday, 23rd June.

Fraudsters do not discriminate; they target anyone. No one is immune to fraud. The criminals behind these schemes often reach out to people both online and at home, using emotional manipulation to steal money or personal information from their victims.

However, there are steps we can take to protect ourselves. By staying vigilant and taking a moment to stop, think, and check whenever we are approached, we can help safeguard ourselves and each other from fraud.

Date: Tuesday, 23rd June
Time: 10:30am - 12:00pm
Venue: St Mary’s Church, Aylesbury

Open to all!
