Safe Space - Attractive and economical alternative to wall padding...

What is a Safe space?

A Safe space provides an attractive and economical alternative to wall padding. It can be described as a 'room within a room' and can fill the whole of a small room or fit in part of a larger room. Because of the Safe space's unique design, no additional building work is required and it allows for the continued use of existing facilities. Windows, radiators, plug sockets and lights can all be used normally outside the reach of the person inside.

Who are they for?

Safe spaces are used for people who may be at risk of harm in an ordinary room. Commonly a Safe space is used to help care for those with challenging or destructive behaviour or those who self-harm. Most of our clients are people with autism or other learning difficulties, however other clients have been at risk from hard surfaces due to such conditions as epilepsy or cerebral palsy.

What other benefits are there?

Because the Safe space has a gap around the outside, the person inside cannot bang on the room walls. This has shown to greatly reduce noise disturbance to neighbours and other family members. Also reported is a calming influence on those with autism and better sleep patterns (for parents and carers too!)

How big is a Safespace?

Safe spaces are custom made in many sizes depending on the size of your room and the needs of the person using them. The largest Safe space we make is 3m x 3m. Some basic room measurements are all we need to provide you with an individual design and free quote.

The Safe Space as a Bedroom

Most Safe spaces are fitted in people’s homes as bedrooms. They are fitted to help parents and carers meet the challenges of caring for someone with no sense of personal safety or the safety of others. They are also fitted to help with the demands of caring for people, particularly children, who have poor sleep patterns.
