Electrical Fire Safety Week 2025

Electrical Safety First is a campaigning charity that aims to reduce deaths and injuries caused by electricity in UK homes. We do this by working closely with Government, the electrical industry, manufacturers, retailers and consumer safety organisations to improve safety regulation and standards. The current campaign for Electrical Fire Safety Week 2025 is raising awareness about the fire risks associated with using white goods.

Examples of ‘protected views’ are shown on pages 70-71 and are identified as important in retaining the particular characteristics of an area.
