The exclusive provider of the Beanbag Care suite of smart adult home care solutions, Secure UK has been awarded coveted Quality Standards Framework accreditation by TEC Quality, a subsidiary of the TEC Service Association (TSA).

Widely regarded as the UK’s voice of technology-enabled care (TEC), the TSA is the industry advisory body for the care technology sector.

The Quality Standards Framework benchmark represents a “significant milestone” for Secure and is the company’s first major care industry certification since the launch of Beanbag Care in 2020. According to the provider, this accreditation reinforces its commitment to providing quality, safe and innovative TEC services.

Developed exclusively by Secure UK, Beanbag Care is a suite of digital, independent living solutions that enables older people to live safely and independently in their own homes for longer, including traditional housing, or extra care and sheltered living schemes.

Beanbag Care can deliver a range of benefits to residents and housing providers, including helping to drive up home care quality and efficiency by providing, real-time, granulated data on customer welfare and satisfaction.

Helen Rudkin, Quality Manager for TEC Quality, commented: “Secure UK Ltd is a great example of an established business that has entered the TEC sector, and has immediately set about embedding quality, safety and assurance into its product and service offer.

“We’re pleased to say that it’s values such as these that have contributed to Secure receiving TEC Quality certification.”

Secure was assessed over 10 standard modules that included safety, risk analysis and staff competency, plus three additional assessment modules specifically tailored for remote monitoring technology.

Paul Botsford, Head of Assisted Living Technology & Services at Secure UK, said: “TEC Quality Accreditation is an important milestone for Secure UK Ltd and Beanbag Care. Secure has a global track record supplying user centric systems, but the QSF accreditation demonstrates our innovative TEC services will meet UK care sector expectations.

“Achieving this accreditation is the culmination of six months of hard work and a collaborative effort from across the Beanbag Care team, so I’m delighted for everyone involved.”

Secure UK will be recognised as having achieved successful Quality Standards Framework certification to the Quality Standards Framework at a drink’s reception, prior to the TSA Gala Dinner at this year’s ITEC conference on the evening of the 28th March, at the ICC Birmingham.
