Home Safety Consultancy

We are all entitled to feel safe and secure in our homes. Unfortunately home is also the place where accidents are most likely to occur which result in injuries requiring medical treatment.

Every year around 6,000 people die in accidents in the home and nearly three million attend accident and emergency departments seeking treatment. However, because these accidents happen behind closed doors in isolated incidents they rarely attract public and media attention. RoSPA is one of the few national voices speaking out on this issue. As well as campaigning for change we provide a large range of resources for individuals and professionals to inform and educate about keeping safe and preventing accidents in the home and garden.
