Anyone can be targeted for a scam so how do we avoid being a victim?

We speak with the experts at Kent Police about scams that are currently taking place in Thanet that cause the highest harm. We explore different ways we can protect ourselves and what we should do if we think we have been scammed.

In honor of Stephen Lawrence Day, on 22nd April, we have a whole podcast dedicated to Safeguarding.

Stephen Lawerence was a victim of an unprovoked, racially motivated attack in 1993. It was found that Met Police officers investigating the murder were institutionally racist and this led to the case not being dealt with fairly. Institutional racism is a form of abuse and we have Dr Liza Thompson here to help explain why safeguarding is so important.

Welcome to another episode of our Health and Wellbeing series. What is Mindfulness and how can I be more mindful?

We go through a few different exercises that can help you to ground yourself and/or calm you down in difficult times. These include;

• Busy Mind - Senses. 5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can touch, 2 things you can smell, and 1 slow breath in and out.
• Overwhelmed - Box breathing/The Breathing Square. Breathing out twice as long as breathing in.
• Low Mood - Hot Cross Bun. What thoughts do I have? What emotions do I feel? What should I do? What happens in my body?

In today's episode, we were on location at dreamland in Margate for the annual Safety In Action event, which is organised by The Salus Group.
Safety in action is an interactive event for year 6 children to learn about some of the risks they may face, as they become more independent and prepare for transition to secondary school.
There are a number of scenarios set up by different organisations to provide information about a variety of topics.
The Thanet Community Safety Partnership delivered our ladder of risk project. If you'd like more information about this project we cover this in episode 9 of this podcast.

New Project Alert!

Gym Safe is a 2-level pledge; 1 for the leisure centre and its staff and 1 for its members. 

Being part of the scheme provides training and an increased awareness for staff and gym users who identify when someone’s behaviour or language is inappropriate or threatening. The training will give you the confidence to challenge that behaviour and report it, knowing that when a report is made to the leisure centre appropriate action will be taken. 

The project sits within the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) priority for Kent and Medway as a safety scheme that aims to raise awareness of the issues and reduce the risk of harm.

If you want to sign up to Gym Safe, visit our website here: https://www.thanet.gov.uk/info-pages/gym-safe/

Do you have a car with a keyless entry? If so, this podcast is for you.

Criminals are looking for opportunities to enter your vehicle and steal your belongings. If you have keyless entry and your key is within range of your vehicle, even if it’s inside your home, they have equipment that can intercept the signal to open your vehicle without the alarm going off.

We know this has affected lots of people in Thanet and it can have such a negative impact on your life and how you feel in your local area. If you have been affected by vehicle crime, please get in touch with us and tell us your story. We will reply to everyone who has been a victim of car crime to ensure you have the most up to date advice.
