safe for all
London
Safe for All was formed by Anita August who has worked with disadvantaged groups
in East London, both as a trainer and manager of a community project for over 13
years. Anita became aware of the significant impact that accredited training in
First Aid and Health and Safety had on the employability and life skills of
disadvantaged groups. Over the past four years (2006-2010) our senior trainers
have been working in partnership with the College of North East London to
deliver Health and Safety training to Haringey employees at all levels who are
involved in delivering and managing front line services in Adult Social Care,
including managers and employees of residential projects for adults with
dementia, severe learning difficulties and mental health problems. The training
has been extended to also deliver to services delivering childcare facilities
including, nurseries, schools and childminders. Safe for All also specialises in
delivering training to the Hospitality and Leisure Industries, Schools and
Nurseries, Voluntary and Community Organisations, Social Enterprises and is
expanding in to the Construction industry and Corporate Sector. Safe for All
only uses qualified instructors who have a wealth of experience and knowledge
gained from working in an operational Health and Safety and First Aid
background, for example, Nurses, Lifeguards, Environmental Health Officers,
Health & Safety Representatives and the Emergency Services. All associates have
to demonstrate their competence through rigorous assessment of their training.
All training associates are CRB checked. Safe for All’s Directors are
professionals with extensive experience of managing private, public and third
sector organisations and empowering disadvantaged people and communities in
London. The Directors and training associates are committed to creating a more
inclusive society and enabling everyone to access First Aid and Health and
Safety training regardless of circumstance. Anita also identified a lack of
affordable training provision and training resources for people with
disabilities. Community groups she worked with encouraged her to make her
services as widely available as possible. Hence Safe for All was born. Safe for
All was formed with a vision to increase the availability of such training and
is 50 per cent governed by people with disabilities.
