RoSPA's Home Safety Department has produced several highly informative DVDs and videos on a range of home safety topics. Here is a small selection of video clips which can now be viewed online.

Blind Cord Safety

RoSPA's own research shows that there have been at least 33 deaths across the UK since 1999 (14 of which have occurred since the start of 2010) due to strangulation by blind cords.

This film has been produced for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) as part of a national Safe at Home campaign to help families keep their children safe from home accidents.

Facing up to Falls

RoSPA has created the short film, Facing up to Falls, as part of its Safer Homes project. It aims to provide families and older people with practical steps to avoid falls by highlighting key issues that lead to a tumble.

The film contains advice on preventing a fall and involves real-life experiences of older people living in the London boroughs of Hackney, Islington and Newham.
