The Gloucestershire Home Safety Check Scheme visits homes throughout Gloucestershire with children under 5 years old, to offer free, friendly advice on ways to minimise the risk of accidents in the home.
The team can identify any safety equipment which may be useful, they can also supply and fit the equipment.
A wide range of items including fire guards, stair gates and window locks are provided at low cost, and there is no charge for the fitting. The team also works with medical and social care professionals, charities and voluntary agencies to provide equipment free of charge to families in need.
