Dark Night Safety Tips

Here are some top tips to keep yourself safe whilst at home - especially in winter when it gets dark earlier.

• Only answer the door to someone you are expecting.
• Use peep holes or if possible, check through windows to see who is at your door.
• Always use the door chain when answering the door to any caller.
• Check identification details by phoning the genuine telephone number from the telephone book or website, not the telephone number on the ID card.
• Keep all doors and windows locked.
• Never let anyone in your house unless it is someone you know and trust.
• Get outside lights fitted to give a better view of anyone who may be on your doorstep.
• If in doubt or worried do not let anyone in to your house.
