  2. This seminar was prepared for Carers who wish to bring clients to a Shed and remain with them for the duration of their stay. Rationale for Today The meeting aims to explain to carers and the Men’s Sheds on the Coast the requirements for introducing support workers and their clients into working sheds

  3. Topics • Shedders attitudes & shed governance • Service Providers responsibilities & guarantees

  4. Two Key Issues • Before bringing a prospective client to a Shed it is vital that prior discussions are held with the shed organisers, without the client being present. • Risk Assessments by Service Providors need to be completed prior to a carer/client attending any Shed.

  5. What Sheds Do • Primary Health Care • Socialisation • Personal Projects • Community Projects

  6. Members Expectations of a Shed • Social - Friendship - Learning new skills - Enjoying a shed atmosphere • Projects • Personal • Community • Shed development & maintenance

  7. Shed Organisation • Every shed on the Central Coast is operated by volunteers. There are no paid workers in any shed on the Coast. • Sheds are autonomous • Opening days/hours differ in each shed • Facilities differ in each shed • Sheds are accessible for special needs members • Some current members have special needs

  8. Membership • Members are self starters and self motivated individuals • Individuals or groups requiring service provider support are welcome to enquire about joining a shed

  9. Safety In A Shed • Sheds must have comprehensive Insurance • Provide individual Safety Training • Have an Induction Package or process • Corporate /Individual responsibilities • Sheds carry out Risk Assessments • Sheds have Induction Packages or processes • Service providers must take total responsibility for their clients while in a shed

  10. Work Health & Safety • New WH& S laws commenced January 2012 • Incorporated sheds that do not employ staff are exempt from the legislation. • But have a Common Law obligation called DUTY OF CARE • Duty of Care is defined as "an obligation, recognised by law, to avoid conduct fraught with unreasonable risk of danger to others".

  11. Expectations of Service Providers • Fee for service - who provides the materials? - assist with wear and tear on equipment Sheds are not ‘day care centres’ where clients can be left for shed members to manage.

  12. Getting to a Shed • Own transport • Service Provider / Community transport

  13. Where To Next ? • Program Implementation • In house discussions with your supervisors & your clients • Individual discussions with shed leaders

  14. Please Remember • Before bringing a prospective client to a Shed it is vital that prior discussions are held with the Shed organisers, without the client being present. • Risk Assessments by Service Providers need to be completed prior to client/carer attending any Shed.
