Sign up to our email alert system

iCAN is a free email alert service and was originally developed to warn consumers about scams operated by cold callers and doorstep callers. We also want to let you know about free services, education and training opportunities and social events that are organised by the council or voluntary and charity groups.

We also want to ask you to be our eyes and ears and provide us with information about what is happening in your community e.g. at certain times we may ask you to tell us about the experience you and your family and friends have had in relation to poor business practices.

If you wish to join iCAN Please email your name, address and email address to trading.standards@halton.gov.uk.

You can also download our no cold calling cards to display at home.
