The Safe and Sound Group is a multi-agency partnership made up of Suffolk Police, Trading Standards, Age Concern, Suffolk ACRE, The Pension Service, District and Borough Councils, Social Care Services and related Suffolk County Council departments.
The Group has the following remit 'Keeping people feeling safe and confident in their homes'.

Safe and Sound receives funding from Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships and Suffolk County Council, to finance projects and publicity campaigns to reduce crime and fear of crime that may affect older and/or vulnerable members of Suffolk communities.

David Dyble, Chair of the Safe and Sound Group says:  ”Bogus Callers and Rogue Traders are a blight on society. They tend to prey on the older and more vulnerable members of our communities.

“The reported instances of incidents that involve Bogus Callers or Rogue Traders are relatively few in comparison with other types of crime.

"However the emotional effect on the victim, their relatives, friends and neighbours cannot be underestimated.  Everyone can play their part in protecting our more vulnerable residents from these criminals."

Safe and Sound is currently working on a number of projects to raise awareness of Bogus Callers.  The Group have recently organised the performances of Trickster and Scambusters plays which attracted audiences across the county during May.  These musical plays were performed by The Soloman Theatre Company, and the events were attended by representatives from the Police, Trading Standards, the Pension Service and Age Concern, who were on hand to answer queries after the shows.
