Helen Ibbotson (CMIOSH) is a highly qualified Health and Safety Practitioner at Safety Wise with over thirty years’ experience. Helen has a particular interest in the provision of care, support and housing for vulnerable people, and in the risks that arise from this provision to carers and support workers. Helen has advised on a wide range of vulnerabilities and the associated risks to workers. Helen is familiar with care and support settings and also in the particular issues which arise when delivering services in people’s own homes, where there is much less control over the environment. Helen has expertise across the range of relevant risks, from cleaning chemicals to electric shock, from infestations to challenging behaviour and always considers risks posed to the service user as well as those affecting the worker.
