Living Safely and Well at Home - Self training Module

This self-training module is for people who visit older people at home eg. health care staff, care workers, hospital visitors and voluntary sector to give general advice on a range of topics.

It has been designed to develop knowledge and skills by increasing understanding of:

  • the effects of poor housing on people’s health
  • the simple actions that can be taken to improve housing conditions
  • the organisations that can help to improve people’s housing conditions

The toolkit will enable you to:

  • identify potential health hazards and problems in the home
  • provide the people you visit with details about how to improve their health/reduce injury risk by dealing with these housing problems, and
  • make referrals to those who can help them
