Join us for a dynamic and engaging Community of Practice session focused on Safety in Social Housing. This meeting is an opportunity for health and safety professionals in the social services sector to come together, share experiences, and explore practical strategies for addressing the unique health and safety challenges in social housing environments.

During this one-hour session, we’ll discuss the key safety concerns that impact both residents and staff in social housing, and highlight effective approaches to creating safer, more supportive spaces. Through small breakout discussions, you’ll have the chance to collaborate with peers, guided by OHS and PHS Advisors, as you explore real-world issues and share solutions. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of emergency shelters or supportive housing, your insights and experiences are valuable.

At the end of the session, we’ll reconvene to share key themes and takeaways, and discuss next steps for continued collaboration and improvement in the sector.

If you’re responsible for health and safety in a social service organization, this is the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and contribute to advancing safety practices in your community.
