Homecheck aims to improve home safety for
people over the age of 60 and for households with children under
the age of 5 receiving intensive support from a Health
Visitor. The service is available to homeowners, council
tenants and tenants of private and registered social
landlords.
During the appointment you will receive
general safety advice and a security check will be carried
out. If required, minor repairs such as replacing leads and
plugs can be carried out. In addition as part of the Under
5’s Service, one stairgate and one fireguard can be supplied at no
cost.
Over 60’s
There are leaflets available which include an
application form which needs to be completed and sent to the
Community Team at Havant Borough Council.
Under 5’s
The service is only available if you are
considered vulnerable, have suffered domestic violence or if your
child has additional needs. Referrals are made by Health
Visitors only.
The Homecheck Service for Havant is delivered
on our behalf by the Portsmouth City Council Team.
