A warm welcome

Once you have registered, you will receive a welcome letter to confirm we have added you to our register.

This will include:

  • what services you have signed up to, including any communication needs you have selected
  • how we will support you during an incident
  • how we will use your data
  • the information we share with other organisations and how to opt out
  • our promise to knock and wait if you need more time to answer the door when we visit

Checking in with you

We will check in with you every two years to make sure we are providing you with the best possible service.

Within each two-year period, we will try to contact you twice by text, email or post.
