Who we are Gas Safe Charity The Gas Safe Charity was set up in 2009 with a vision that there are zero deaths, injuries and illness caused by dangerous gas work and faulty or poorly cared for appliances in the home. Our aim is for everyone to know what to do to be safe with gas. The Charity is funded by and works closely with the Gas Safe Register. Bath and Main Associates Background Experience Role

Aim of PCOA Project Raise awareness of the symptoms and causes of CO poisoning amongst people who work with and support vulnerable people, usually in their own homes

Our Approach 1.Work in partnership with (usually charities) that have large numbers of front line staff/volunteers who work in people’s homes 2.Build on existing CO awareness activity 1.Offer 3 ways to engage with the project: i) information ii)collaboration iii) mainstreaming message

The Offer Engagement levelActivity InformationAgreed text to be slotted into newsletter, web site, presentation, training leaflet, fact sheet or social media Basic training (Collaboration) 15 minute stand alone presentation including script with key messages on CO causes, symptoms and action CO Champions (Mainstreaming) 2-3 hours interactive session to cascade message via “train the trainers” approach Pledge personal action

Progress so far 1. Getting an understanding of the gas sector 2. Mainstreaming commitment from: - Red Cross - Foundations - National Age UK - Local Age UKs - Visionary - UKHCA

What have we learned so far? Charities motivated not only to help their clients but also by their duty of care to staff and volunteers Currently low level of awareness of CO poisoning as an issue A key challenge is how a front line worker deals with a problem that doesn’t leave a vulnerable person worse off e.g. no heating

Next steps 1.Pilot training packages (February) 2.Deliver training (March - September) 3.Refine messages and address issues as they arise 4.Increase the network of contacts and CO Partners across UK 5.Develop links to statutory agencies for the future
