Protecting Vulnerable, Disabled & Older People
I’m sure everyone is fed up of the poor service, scams, sudden disappearance of traders and all the other worrying reports we hear almost on a daily basis.
This is distressing enough for anyone to deal with but if you’re a vulnerable, disabled or older client this is always going to be at the forefront of your mind as many scams, unfortunately deliberately target these groups.
