Can we help you?
9 Safety campaigns
QuestionWe wish to develop an accident
prevention strategy. Our aim is to move resources
from search and rescue response to prevention. We
are sure other public sector organisations have
faced similar problems can you help us learn from
their experiences ?
Solution Researched other emergency services and
agencies who produce safety campaigns. From the
information PSBS provided, this enquirer went
onto benchmark with a fire service and developed
a new safety campaign.
Cross sector partnerships
10Child protection
QuestionWhere can I obtain information on
research into child protection ?
Solution This was for an overseas police force
and they wanted international comparisons.
Researched other police forces, found information
from Hong Kong, Thailand, Canada, UK etc. In
addition information was collated from the
Department of Health and local government. Good
practice examples of child protection, were also
found in agencies from a range of countries such
as Ethiopia, Bangladesh Mexico.
This information is now available to UK public
sector organisations.
Learning through sharing
11Sick absence
Question We are undertaking research on
managing sick absence can you advise us how
organisations tackled this problem?
Solution Approached PSBS members who specialise
in sick leave to exchange ideas, principles
practices. Researched public / private sectors
methods for dealing with sick leave. Information
complied and sent onto the enquirer. Benchmarking
sick leave now occurs across a number of public
sector organisations.
