Many people will be aware of the think Jessica
campaign. For those that aren't, the
campaign was started by Marilyn Baldwin in 2007 after her mother was
hounded through the last years of her life by postal scams. They now work and campaign on behalf of
victims and their families to raise awareness of the issues surrounding postal
scams. The Institute has long been a
supporter of Think Jessica and when we were approached to support the campaign
to have Jessica Scam Syndrome recognised as a medical condition we did so
without any hesitation. After all
protecting the vulnerable from scams has to be a core plank of our
profession. You can find out more about
this worthy organisation and their campaign at http://www.thinkjessica.com
Leon Livermore became the chief executive of the Trading Standards Institute in April 2013. In his blog he reflects on the challenges and opportunities that he encounters for TSI and trading standards as a whole.
