Our approach to health and safety
Like other policies within our organisation, our approach to health and safety is built on lived experience. Risk assessments are designed with this in mind, ensuring safety decisions are inclusive and informed. We work closely with those affected by specific risks to find solutions that work for everyone. And with the help of our health and safety committee, we are constantly reviewing our approach and ensuring our standards stay high.
