Accidents at Home
Did you know that in Northern Ireland every year, over 70 people die due to an accident in the home and almost 70,000 visit their local Accident & Emergency Departments seeking help?
It is estimated that 1 out of every 7 people attending Accident & Emergency because of a home accident is actually admitted to hospital.
Safe Home, Happy Home Check Scheme is aimed at reducing the number of accidents within the home.
The people most at risk of home accidents are:
Children under the age of 5
and
Adults over 65
A friendly visit from our Home Safety Officer, Charlene Magill, will help you to identify areas of risk in your home and give you the information, advice and support you need to make your home safer.
The Service works in partnership with the Home Accident Prevention Group (HAP) of Lisburn, with additional funding and support from Wellnet. The scheme will be starting in the Glenavy area and anyone living in this area can access this FREE, CONFIDENTIAL Service.
