Stafford: Staffordshire smart alert - Ask for Angela? Be safe wherever you are this weekend

Ask for Angela? Be safe wherever you are this weekend

If you're on a night out and maybe….

Feeling Unsafe?

Need a safe way out?

On a date that isn't working out?

Something not feeling right?

The Ask for Angela initiative aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get help and support discreetly. This could be on a night out, on a date or meeting friends.

The initiative works by training staff in vulnerability management and what to do when someone ‘Asks for Angela’. When someone asks for Angela, the trained member of staff will understand the person is in need of help and support and will be able to respond in an appropriate, discreet way. This could be offering them an alternative way out of the venue, calling them a taxi, or in a more serious situation alerting venue security and/or calling the Police.

Please pass this information on to friends and family, it might help them in their time of need.

Whisby Nature Park is a beautiful landscape near Lincoln, full of wildlife, walks and trails. Once barren and lifeless, this amazing place now abounds with wildlife.

Stafford: Staffordshire smart alert - Rogue Traders

Following reports in your area, Staffordshire Police are urging residents to stay vigilant against rogue traders targeting local communities. We strongly advise against hiring traders who knock, uninvited, on your door. These individuals often offer services such as driveway repairs, roofing or gardening services. Their work is often unnecessary, overpriced, substandard, or sometimes not done at all. Many lack formal training and some may even be linked to distraction burglaries. Rogue traders will often ask you to pay cash upfront before any work is completed.

Remember

- Don't agree to work offered on the spot.

- Always ask for written quotes and check reviews or references.

- Be wary of any pressure tactics - take your time to decide.

- Verify ID and ensure traders are from a reputable business.

To report local doorstep crime and protect a vulnerable person, call the Staffordshire Trading Standards Confidential hotline at 01785 330356.

For advice and guidance on resolving issues, contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline at 0808 223 1133.

If you suspect a rogue trader you can call Staffordshire Police on 101 or report anonymously to crime stoppers at 0800 555 111.

In an emergency always call 999
