Health & safety for care, built around the CQC 'safe' question.
Safety is one of the five key questions the CQC asks of every provider, and your rating rests on the everyday stuff: safe moving and handling, lone workers covered, COSHH for cleaning and clinical substances, and policies that match what staff actually do. We lead with the safety of your staff and the people you support, and keep it practical for a team that hasn't got a spare hour.
The health and safety a care provider is judged on, owned with you.
Residential and domiciliary settings each carry their own risk profile. We cover both, and your named consultant acts as your competent person so the duty sits with someone qualified.
Assessments for the people you support and the staff doing the lifting, with safe systems that protect both and stand up to scrutiny.
General risk assessments plus COSHH for cleaning and clinical substances, written for your setting and kept current as things change.
Practical cover for community and domiciliary staff working alone in other people's homes, including travel and check-in arrangements.
Fire risk assessment and infection prevention and control, two areas inspectors look at closely in a care setting.
We map your H&S evidence to the assessment framework and the 'safe' key question, so an inspection finds it in order rather than assembled in a panic.
Your named consultant acts as your competent person, so your registered manager gets the cover they need, not another job on the list.
One named consultant who knows care, and knows your service.
Not a call centre and a ticket number. Over a year they become an extension of your team: the person who knows your home, your staffing pressures and your last inspection, and who owns the safety system alongside you rather than handing you a report and leaving.
