  • mental health, dementia
  • mobility including slips, trips and falls
  • hoarding
  • loneliness and social isolation
  • healthy eating and lifestyles

Guidance for Professionals and Carers

If you are a professional or carer for a vulnerable person, it’s important that you are able to identify risks while going about your duties. By identifying and reporting these risks, it allows us and other partners organisations to ensure adequate steps to ensure the safety of the most vulnerable in our communities, especially from the risk of fire.

To help you to identify, assess and know what to do if you find fire or other home risks, we have both an online course and a document covering ‘Fire Safety Guidance for Professionals and Carers’.

Fire Safety Guidance Document

The document is available below and contains a great deal of information to help you ensure those you care for have the very best chance of staying safe in their homes.
