Falls and their impact on social housing: RoSPA toolkit

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has published this falls prevention toolkit, developed in partnership with Trent & Dove, intended as a useful resource for social landlords and aimed at reducing the impact of tenant falls in social housing.

Available to download via the RoSPA website, the three-component toolkit combines staff training, home safety checks and effective partnership working to address fall risks and facilitate a measurable reduction in number of falls suffered by participants, and has been developed specifically for the social housing sector.

The toolkit includes a brand new version of Fall Fighter, RoSPA’s fall prevention awareness material, which has be developed for frontline housing staff, helping them spot vulnerable tenants and signpost the fall prevention support available.
