The Safe and Well check aims to identify all fire and lifestyle associated hazards, in order to reduce the risk of having a fire or an accident in the home.
Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service staff will ensure that all aspects of fire safety and lifestyle risks are covered during the visit, including:
• Fire escape plans • Bedtime routine • Kitchen and cooking safety • Electrical safety • Smoking safety • Candle safety.
We will also offer brief advice and onward referral to the most appropriate partners for smoking cessation, alcohol and substance misuse, dementia, winter warmth, social isolation, hoarding, flu vaccine advice, access to benefits, carers support and crime prevention.
