As Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter celebrates 130 years of caring for animals across the North East, it benefits from a strong and enduring partnership with Carney Consultancy.
The charity provides care and refuge for animals that are lost, unwanted, neglected, abused or abandoned. It also reunites lost pets with their owners wherever possible and finds loving new homes for those in need. To continue this vital work, it relies on the support of local businesses and partners such as Carney Consultancy.
From providing expert health and safety guidance and staff training to supporting fundraising initiatives and connecting the shelter with other businesses, Carney Consultancy plays a key role in ensuring the charity can operate safely and effectively.
Based in North Tyneside, Carney Consultancy specialises in health and safety consultancy and training for the construction and engineering sectors across the north of England. Acting as the shelter’s health and safety consultants, the team provides ongoing advice and support completely free of charge. This includes reviewing and rewriting risk assessments and COSHH assessments, carrying out health and safety policy reviews, undertaking fire risk assessments of the main site and supporting accident investigations.
The company regularly delivers staff training in Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW), Fire Marshal training, Safe Working at Height, Manual Handling, Asbestos Awareness and Risk Assessment.
