We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of a new 'Damp and mould Toolkit'.
This is designed to support health and social care professionals who visit residential properties, as part of patient care and management.
This practical resource enables frontline professionals to:
- Identify internal damp and mould issues during home visits
- Assess clinical vulnerability of individuals affected by poor housing conditions
- Follow clear guidance on next steps, including:
-
- Advice for patients and carers
- Signposting to resources
- Referral to housing and public health local authority teams
- Template letter for notifying landlords of responsibilities
This toolkit can also be useful for staff who visit people at home.
It can help them understand how someone's housing affects their health and what to do about it.
