HOW SCHEMES WORK

One of the best things about NHW is the flexibility of it. Schemes can be tailored to suit your local community needs.

The numbers of homes involved in a scheme can vary considerably. A scheme can consist of 10-15 homes, a complete block of flats, sheltered accommodation or just a couple of houses.

An easy to manage scheme for one co ordinator to look after would be between 10-15 homes. If the numbers are more than this we would recommend that scheme has additional co-ordinators.

Each scheme is a community initiative, which is supported by the police not run by them.
