If You're Unsure, Shut The Door!

Do not let people into your home if they can't provide appropriate identification.

  • All our staff and contractors should present their ID badge on arrival
  • If this is not offered, please ask to see their ID
  • Check the badge carefully to ensure they are working for Poole Housing Partnership (PHP)
  • Even if the visit has been arranged beforehand, ask for ID
  • If you are not expecting anyone it's even more important to check their ID and ask why they want to come in
  • If you're unhappy with what you have seen, ask them to wait while you call
  • the phone number on their card. If they're genuine they will wait
  • Inform the police if you're suspicious
