Supporting the pressures on in-house services
If you manage an in-house monitoring service, maintaining consistent cover at all times can be challenging. Staffing night shifts, managing sickness and absence and planning for unexpected disruption can put pressure on both teams and budgets.
Common challenges include gaps in cover, reliance on overtime or agency staff and the risk of missed calls during busy periods or outages. These can all affect service reliability and the safety of the people you support.
