Using this resource
Use this as a home-visit discussion prompt, not a building inspection or a guarantee that a home is safe.
Record the observed location, agreed immediate action and person responsible for following up each concern.
Respect the person's choices and escalate unresolved risks through the provider's process; do not invent a risk score.
Who it is for
Support workers, coordinators, and team leaders who need a practical home safety review record.
When to use it
Use at onboarding, after incidents, when risks change, or during routine home visit checks.
What this template helps with
A clearer record trail for everyday follow-up
Review notes
This template is a plain-language operational starting point. Check its fields, wording, and internal consistency before using it in a provider's own documentation system.
