The right health and safety support depends on the organisation, its risks and the decisions being made. Some organisations have sufficient capability internally; others benefit from targeted, retained or specialist external support.

This diagnostic does not determine legal requirements for competent assistance, certify an individual’s competence or establish that external support is required.

It does not provide legal advice.

About this diagnostic

Choose an organisation profile and current support model, then answer 18 core questions. Up to five non-scoring follow-ups tailor the advice. One relevant contextual question reserves a slot; remaining follow-ups follow the stated priority.

The score describes the organisation’s support arrangement, not an individual or legal sufficiency. Internal and external models receive no scoring advantage. Support options are proportionate prompts for review, not requirements to appoint an adviser.
