Alert Messaging

Alert Messaging

This is a message from Wycombe District Neighbourhood Watch Association to our Neighbourhood Watch Scheme Co-ordinators.

Over the last 25 years, the way and procedure for communicating information to members of NHW Schemes has evolved and developed. So, we wanted to give you an update on what your options are the moment.

Some Co-ordinators prefer to pass on information to their scheme members themselves. However, increasingly, the option of having scheme members signed up to receive Alerts directly is being preferred. There are added advantages to having your members sign up on the Alert database as individuals:

Confirming your members’ contact details are being held safely and securely with their permission.

They can keep their own contact details up to date, meaning you always have the right information to use.

For example, if and when you wish to share or pass on the role, this can be done quickly and easily in the National Neighbourhood Watch Network.

You can use the system to send emails to them if you wish, or continue doing so as you already are.

They can do this quickly and easily at: https://www.ourwatch.org.uk/joinNW selecting the option to join their local Neighbourhood Watch Scheme and opting to receive local community Alert messages.

However, your scheme must be registered and mapped for them to be added to it, so please check that by typing in your postcode at: https://www.ourwatch.org.uk/find-your-local-nw

and get in touch with us if it’s not showing.

Thank you. Keep safe.
