High Risk

Resources to support a resident with high risk needs

High Risk

High risks are associated with one or more of the following that can include: complex health issues, fire risks or environmental hazards, self-neglect, domestic abuse, substance misuse, threatened homelessness, mental health issues, and others.

The London Fire Brigade's new Home Fire Safety Visit (HFSV) strategy, launched in April 2023, focuses on prioritising vulnerable Londoners. It offers free, personalised fire safety advice through in-person visits and an online checker. Partners are encouraged to refer individuals at very high risk - such as those over 60, living alone, smokers, mobility-impaired, lacking smoke alarms, or receiving care - for immediate visits. Additionally, partners can help spread awareness about the online Home Fire Safety Checker to reach a broader audience.
