Sliptember

Make it stand out

Christian Harris of Slip Safety Services developed an award winning campaign a few years ago ‘Sliptember’. This year, with permission from Christian, I adopted Sliptember to Care UK to promote slip safety in a series of communications to colleagues. As part of the campaign, I was featured in The Carer.

It is always good to be able to promote health, safety, and wellbeing outside my profession and outside my organisation in the hope this will impact on others and enhance safety overall. I will be doing a similar Sliptember campaign in 2026, building on the lessons I learnt this year and incorporating the issue of slips and trips from a resident perspective; this campaign focused on colleagues.
