YOUR HOME. THEIR WORKPLACE - Season 3, Episode 2 with Sarah Clayton of Simple Stuff Works

Sarah Clayton founded Simple Stuff Works to provide practical equipment and training that supports postural care and prevents avoidable complications for people with limited mobility. In this episode, she shares how her background in education and research led her to build a role that didn't previously exist. We explore how gravity affects body shape, comfort, and pressure risk — and why positioning must always be personalised. Sarah discusses the importance of collaboration between families, therapists, and care teams, using objective measures to guide decisions. She highlights the need for early intervention, regular reviews, and clear communication to manage both postural and pressure care effectively. The key message: simple, well-informed positioning strategies — delivered early and collaboratively — can significantly improve comfort, safety, and quality of life. In the chat with Cecily, Sarah mentioned a referral tool which she says "is also a fantastic resource for documenting a person's postural care provision - there are often multiple agencies involved which can quickly become overwhelming."
