Staying warm, safe and independent in your home

Good housing is a key building block for good health, but some times a home can cause harm to health or not provide the level of comfort or safety we want for our residents.  We’d like to know what support residents might need to help them get their homes back to supporting their health and wellbeing, including being energy efficient.  We are focussing on what sort of help people need with keeping their home warm and energy efficient, but also including what sort of advice and support people might need with to help repair and maintain their home.  

There is support out there to help residents, however we know it can be a bit complicated to work out who can help with what. It depends on where you live, the nature of the problem, whether you rent or own your home, when you happen to ask for help and who is asking for that help.

We would like your views to help us design and deliver a service for Oxfordshire residents to help them stay warm, safe and healthy at home.
