Cared For At Home Network

That this House commends the Cared for at Home Network set up by Dunoon-based Police Constable Laura Evans, which aims to tackle cases of fraud and attempted fraud across Argyll and Bute; notes that throughout the pandemic cases of attempted fraud have risen, particularly during the covid-19 lockdowns when many elderly people are home alone and criminals have targeted vulnerable residents through telephone and email scams; and highlights that that Network aims to raise awareness of fraud to elderly people and to encourage people to report all forms of fraud.
