Befriending

[adnil54]

Anyone on here know about the befriending?

Hi there, is there anything specific about the befriending programme you are wanting to know?

[adnil54]

Hi Lisa my mum has signed up for this but she got a call on Monday and the person she spoke to asked if they could visit her. She said yes 🙈 which horrified me when she told me. Anyway we found out it must have been a scam.  When they phone do they ask for ID or anything for security reasons a password or something ??

Hey @adnil54,

This doesn't sound right, when you see this could you pop me a PM?

Hi,

Any Sky befriending we do via Time to Care at the moment is only by telephone with very strict safeguarding training and guidance. If you want to PM me with additional information I can investigate for you.
