Knowing that we can’t always make people with cognitive decline remember things, this guide was created to encourage the people who support them to take action to mitigate their exposure to criminals. An example being the installation of a call blocker to prevent scam calls coming through the phone, or the setup of mail redirection to prevent scams coming through the letter box.

This guide also outlines the importance of setting up lasting power of attorney:
