Over 90 OT's joined the Foundations OT Network Meeting to hear from on sensory needs and the Disabled Facilities Grant—an insightful an important session.
A key takeaway:
"We need to contextualise sensory considerations within the broader picture of what may be driving behaviours, rather than assuming sensory factors are always the primary cause."
As more DFG applications reference sensory needs, this reminder is crucial for ensuring assessments and adaptations are truly person-centred.

All HCPC-registered Occupational Therapists must engage in CPD — but what counts as meaningful CPD?
Examples include:
- Attending workshops and webinars
- Reflecting on clinical practice
- Reading and reviewing evidence
💡 The Safespaces Academy helps make CPD practical, relevant, and easy to evidence.
The government’s £50 million boost to Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) funding is fantastic news for everyone working in the sector—including us at Safespaces!
This investment means more people can stay safely in their own homes and get the support they need to live life to the fullest—a difference that is so important for those we support. Every day, we see the impact the right adaptation, at the right time, has on our clients and their loved ones.
