Fire Safety in Care Homes, Expert Insight for Care Providers

Fire safety remains one of the most critical risks facing care providers. When incidents occur the consequences can be devastating for residents, staff and the future of the organisation.

“Every care provider has a legal duty to carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. But many don’t realise what that actually means in practice.”

Quality Care Group has partnered with Omny, fire safety specialists with expertise across health and safety and people services, to deliver a practical, expert-led webinar designed specifically for care business owners and managers.

This session brings together specialist expertise from both fire risk and insurance perspectives, providing care providers with a well-rounded understanding of how to protect their residents and their business.

Omny’s fire safety specialists work extensively within the care sector, supporting providers with fire risk assessments, compliance and real-world risk mitigation. Alongside this, Quality Care Group’s in-house Claims and Risk expertise provides direct insight into what happens when incidents occur and how insurers respond.

During the webinar, we will explore the real fire safety challenges faced by care providers across the UK. From legal responsibilities through to evacuation planning and maintenance regimes, the focus will be on what good practice looks like in a care setting.

We will also share lessons learned from real incidents within the sector, highlighting the importance of robust fire risk assessments, tested evacuation procedures and clear responsibilities across your team.

Fire safety is not just about compliance. It is about protecting vulnerable residents, supporting staff and ensuring your organisation is prepared should the worst happen.

The session will also cover the insurance implications following a fire, including what providers should expect during the claims process and how strong risk management can significantly reduce both financial and operational impact.
