Home Safety Equipment Scheme
Safety Net has been funded by the Brighton and Hove Primary Care Trust to provide a home safety equipment scheme to families across Brighton and Hove. Through Health visitors, parents can apply for a variety of home safety items such as stair gates, bed guards, fireguards and cupboard locks.
You are eligible for the scheme if all of the following apply:-
- You live in Brighton and Hove
- Have a child under the age of 5
- You are receiving benefits (e.g. Income Support, Working Families Tax Credits)
- You need equipment or advice to help make your home safer
Since the scheme began 3 years ago we have delivered home safety equipment to 375 families in Brighton and Hove.
As part of this scheme, Safety Net also visits local children’s centres to talk to parent groups about ‘Keeping children safe in the home’.
