Our children have the opportunity to use a pop-up swimming pool which is very similar to a paddling pool with high sides. Any advice on how to secure a portable hoist?

thanks

Hi there,

Thanks for the post. However, it is not possible to advise in this situation. You will need to carefully liaise, plan and risk assess the situation with the child( if appropriate), their family and relevant professionals ( e.g. OT/physio) to develop a safe and effective solution. There is guidance on pdnet effective  hub, including a really helpful swimming checklist. I hope you find it useful.

Best wishes

Di

Thanks Di

 

I will look into the swimming checklist. We had anticipated speaking to parents.
