Managing a care business means juggling numerous responsibilities, but ensuring the safety and well-being of your residents and staff should always be a top priority. That’s where a Proactive Risk Audit led by our Risk and Claims Manager, Jade Concannon, can make all the difference. Here’s what’s involved and why it’s an essential step for your organisation.

What’s Covered in the Risk Audit?

Our Proactive Risk Audit provides a comprehensive review of your current health and safety arrangements, with a focus on common claim areas and general H&S points. We’ll assess the following critical areas:

‍Policies and Plans ‍

• Do you have a spillage policy in place to manage potential hazards?
• Is there a disaster recovery plan and/or a business continuity plan (BCP) to minimise disruptions in case of emergencies like fire or flood?

Risk Assessments

• Have you conducted risk assessments for commonly frequented areas, such as stairs, corridors, walkways, paths, and reception areas?
• Do you have a winter weather policy in place to manage seasonal risks?

Equipment and Facilities

• Are all portable appliances regularly inspected and tested by a competent person, with results documented (PAT testing)?
• Do you have enough staff to safely perform lifting tasks, including the lifting of residents?

Incident Preparedness

• Have you ever been involved in a coroner’s inquest following the death of a resident, and are you prepared to handle such situations?
• Are your care plans and risk assessments for residents regularly reviewed and up to date?

What Happens Next?

Following the audit, you’ll receive a detailed action plan that highlights areas for improvement and provides clear, actionable recommendations. These steps will help you:

• Enhance safety measures across your organisation.
• Reduce the likelihood of incidents and claims.
• Strengthen your preparedness for emergencies.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
