Reflecting on International Recruitment: Share Your Experience King’s College London has been commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care to conduct an independent national evaluation of the support provided through the International Recruitment Fund 2024–25.

The researchers want to understand the experience of international care workers. This will include: A confidential chat online or by phone (30–45 minutes) International care workers will receive a £20 gift voucher as a thank-you Everything shared is private – individual names and employers will not be identified If you have any questions or you’d like to take part in this research or know and international care worker who might, please contact: Carl Purcell, Policy Research Unit on Health and Social Care Workforce, King’s College London – carl.purcell@kcl.ac.uk

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning - what do care providers need to know?

10 June 2025
Carbon monoxide poisoning – what do care providers need to know? The Care Association Alliance have asked us to share this important information with our members. ************************************************************************** The best way to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning is the proper installation and maintenance of gas equipment – and carbon monoxide alarms are a useful backup. The recommended approach for care settings is twofold: 1. Care homes must ensure that gas appliances are installed and maintained by a Gas Safe Registered engineer or business. 2. Carbon monoxide alarms are a useful precaution, but they are not a substitute for point 1 above. It’s important that people who use care services and care providers are safe from the risk of harm from carbon monoxide gas. The proper installation and regular maintenance of gas appliances, carried out by a competent person, is the best way to ensure CO safety. Care providers should refer to the Health and Safety Executive’s Safety in the installation and use of gas systems and appliances code of practice, which specifically notes the use of CO alarms as a useful back-up precaution if you have gas appliances in use at your service. Another useful resource is the HSE’S Health and safety in care homes guidance . The Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the HSE have launched a gas safety promotion for care settings: • May 2025 – the CQC set out the recommended approach in its bulletin. • June 2025 – the HSE has included this item on its cross-government group on CO awareness and gas safety.
