Accident Prevention

THE ACCIDENT AND PREVENTION SERVICE recognises the impact an accident can have on the quality and independence of a person's life. It works to raise awareness of factors that can cause accidents, with the aim of preventing them. It has a special focus on falls prevention. It delivers specific advice often through individual home visits and home safety checks.

The service is available to any person aged 50 plus living in the borough. The service works both with individuals and groups. The service is also available for family, friends and carers or health care professionals working with people aged 50 plus. Referrals on behalf of others can be made to the service with the person’s knowledge and approval.
