National Home Safety Congress 2008

Regulating for Home Safety: achieving the right balance between complacency and paranoia

Hilton Blackpool Hotel, Blackpool - 11th-12th November 2008

Sponsored by

The home should provide a safe environment, a place where people of all ages can enjoy a relaxed and happy time. However, thousands are killed or seriously injured in the environment in which they should feel most safe. Can regulation provide a solution to a reduction in home injury, or are people becoming reliant on the safety equipment now available for home use?

The congress will explore the range of solutions aimed at achieving the right balance between complacency and paranoia. Should the home environment be as safe as is necessary rather than as safe as is possible?

Congress will look at a range of issues surrounding regulation:

• Regulations and their contribution to consumer safety.
• The relationship between Regulation and accident rates.
• What is the appropriate level of Regulation for safety in the home? Should there be more or less?
• TMVs, should they be mandatory in England, as they are in Scotland?
• Can children’s play be both safe and exciting?

If injury prevention is part of your remit, you can’t afford to miss this year’s RoSPA National Home Safety Congress.
