Test It. Share It. Save Lives.

Keeping people safe at home is everyone’s business. During Dementia Awareness Week, it’s a timely reminder of how important practical safety checks can be. 

A working smoke alarm on every floor can double the chances of surviving a fire. We’re encouraging everyone to take a few minutes to test their alarms to make sure they are working and sounding properly and, where possible, to support relatives, friends or neighbours who may appreciate help checking theirs. 

Sarah Wilkinson, Head of Prevention, said: 
“Quick safety checks during visits to relatives or neighbours can make a real difference. Making sure smoke alarms are working is one of the simplest and most effective steps we can take.”
