How can you protect yourself against Pension fraud?
Secure your online pension account: the account you use to manage your pension should have a different password to all of your other accounts.

 As you may be aware, the government has announced its intention to simplify governance in areas with two-tier systems, such as Lancashire, by creating new unitary councils that deliver all local services through a single authority.
Currently, Lancashire County Council provides services such as social care, education, highways, and libraries, while district councils (like Burnley, Fylde, Pendle, Ribble Valley and Rossendale) deliver services including waste collection, planning, housing, and leisure. Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen already operate as unitary authorities.  Today, on World Suicide Prevention Day, we pause to reflect, remember, and take action.

As part of this process, we are seeking input from health professionals to help shape and inform the future service specification.  Today’s children are growing up in a connected world – but that doesn’t mean they always know how to stay safe in it. As a parent, grandparent or guardian, your guidance can make a huge difference. Our new leaflet, attached, provides some practical ways to help your child explore the internet with confidence and care this summer holiday.
