Minor Works and Low Level Equipment

Minor adaptations are those that are easily installed and do not require structural changes to the home. They include things like grab rails, stair rails and bath rails.

Low level equipment is a small piece of non-specialist equipment that can prevent, reduce, delay or meet a need and includes equipment to help people move around, or get in and out of a chair, bed or bath.

Note: Equipment to move around does not include walking aids which must be assessed by a Physiotherapist.

Under Section 14 of the Care Act it is not lawful to charge for equipment or minor works costing under £1000. For further information about the service provision, please contact otadmin@bromley.gov.uk and mark your email for attention of the 'Duty OT' for advice.

Please also see further information on Occupational Therapy processes in the Local Resources area.

Please see Section 2 of the Care and Support Statutory Guidance for more information on preventing, reducing or delaying needs:
