Fire safety remains one of the most critical risks facing care providers. When incidents occur, the consequences can be devastating for residents, staff and the organisation itself.

What we cover:

Specialists from Quality Care Group and Omny explore the real challenges care providers face when it comes to fire safety. From legal responsibilities and competency requirements through to evacuation planning, maintenance regimes and insurance implications, we look at what good practice really looks like in a care setting.

Using real examples from the sector, including lessons learned from historic fire incidents, this session highlights the importance of robust fire risk assessments, tested evacuation procedures and clear responsibilities across your team.

Whether you operate a single care home or manage multiple services, this session will provide valuable insight into protecting residents while safeguarding your business.
