We chair the industry wide Safeguarding Customers Working Group, playing a key role in providing better services to all customers but especially those most vulnerable. Part of this is linking with existing services to help those in need - an example being Local Authority Referral Schemes.
Referral Schemes are based upon well-established partnerships within a local councils or authorities. Predominately they work by a broad group of associations jointly caring for people to allow a more rounded approach and this can be on a safety, healthy homes or social care basis.
When one of our engineers turns up on your doorstep and recognises that you could possibly be missing out on services available, they may request your consent to pass you onto a referral scheme in your area, where you could be put in touch with organisations such as Age UK, the Fire Service, the British Red Cross; along with many others.
Connecting customers that we come across in our daily interaction with the local safeguarding services to help keep them safe, warm and independent in their homes. These are based upon well-established partnerships within local councils or authorities and allow a more rounded approach to jointly caring for people.
