Some of the recent partnership activity we've delivered:

Increasingly we are collaborating on complex and long-term projects which speak to the core values of both parties and seek to make a genuine lasting change. Our partners operate across a wide range of industry sectors - construction, utilities, insurance, personal care to name but a few,  but all have an affiliation with RoSPA and our safety values and are keen to demonstrate safety excellence through ambitious thought leadership and sector influence.
 

Why our partnerships deliver sustainable outcomes

For sustainable outcomes, partnerships need to work as well as they possibly can –  partners should  choose each other carefully, be honest about their motivations for setting up that partnership, and use their expertise to best effect.

Our partnerships are long lasting and successful because we ensure they contain the following key elements:

1. Common objectives - There have to be clear expectations and transparency

2. Alignment of values - The right fit between partners and what each brings to the table in terms of expertise

3. Open communication - Learning from challenges along the way and approaching them positively

4. Planning – Clarity of goals, mutually-accepted metrics and timescales

5. Ongoing evaluation  -  To ensure both parties are meeting the goals

In addition, we consider planning for a project’s legacy right at the start. It is vitally important to ensure that the boards and CEOs of partner organisations are committed to the partnership to ensure it’s an ongoing success.
 

Examples of successful strategic partnerships

We can demonstrate clear examples of success. One example is the partnership between RoSPA and Severn Trent,  which has resulted in a 61 per cent reduction in all high level slips, trips & falls incidents since 2018/19 and helped Severn Trent move close to their Goal Zero mission that “no-one gets hurt or made unwell by what we do”.

In addition, Berkeley Group has been working with us for a number of years to develop a framework to reduce accidents in new build homes during the design process, a large part of which concerns the construction of stairs and floors, and other mechanisms, to prevent falls, alongside addressing other risks in the modern home. And as part of their working at height initiative, they also adopted the RoSPA Fall Fighter scheme.
