📣 Carers Rights Day: Thursday 19th November 📣

Someone you know is a carer… but do they know it yet? Many people looking after a family member or friend don’t think of themselves as a carer, so they miss out on rights and support they’re entitled to.

Book a place on our FREE Carers Rights and Entitlements Session at St James Centre to find out what rights and entitlements are currently available, and how many carers, locally and nationally, are getting the support they’re entitled to.

📅 Thursday 19th November
🕐 10am – 12pm or 1pm – 3pm (you can choose either)
📍 St James Centre, 344 Laird Street, Birkenhead, CH41 7AL
⚠️ Booking is essential, so please get in touch to reserve your place.

You can also call in to see our team at the Carers Rights Information Station on the day, 10am – 3pm in the atrium at St Catherine’s Health Centre. No booking needed.

📱 Social media red flags
🕵️ Digital footprint and data leakage
📶 Public Wi-Fi and rogue access points

🚨 Is someone scamming the person you care for?

You know the person you care for better than anyone. That makes you one of the first people likely to notice when something isn’t right, including when a scammer has got in touch.

Scammers target older and vulnerable people because they’re often at home, polite to callers and sometimes lonely. Some scams take a single phone call. Others build up over weeks, with a new “friend” who seems to really care.

⚠️ Warning signs to look out for
📞 Secretive phone calls, or getting anxious when the phone rings
🤝 A new friend or “helper” you’ve never met who keeps coming up
💷 Sudden worry about money, or bills and debts you didn’t know about
📦 Unusual post, parcels or gift cards arriving
💳 Asking you for cash, or to help them buy vouchers or gift cards
🤫 Being told to keep something secret

💬 How to raise it without upsetting them
Pick a calm moment. Start from care, not blame. “Is everything alright? You’ve seemed a bit on edge” goes down far better than “Have you been scammed?”

Listen and stay calm. Scammers are professionals who fool clever people every day, so make it clear they’re not in trouble and you’re on their side.

🛡️ Who to tell and where to report it
🏦 If money has gone or bank details have been shared, call the bank straight away on the number on the back of the card.
🌐 Report it to Report Fraud at reportfraud.police.uk or on 0300 123 2040.
📱 Forward scam texts to 7726. It’s free.
🆘 If someone is in immediate danger, call 999.

✅ Small habits that help
✅ Agree a “check with me first” rule before paying anyone who gets in touch out of the blue.
✅ Register their phone number with the free Telephone Preference Service to cut down sales calls.
✅ Talk about scams openly, so nobody feels too embarrassed to speak up.

💜 Look after yourself too
Carers get targeted too, especially when they’re tired and busy. The same rule applies to you: if a call, text or email rushes you to pay or share details, stop and check.
