Avoiding spins from base to finals

After reading the 'instructors who refuse to spin' thread on the instructors forums:

What is the best way to ensure that you DON'T inadvertently spin the aircraft on turn from base to finals?

Understand about not lifing nose, or letting airspeed bleed off with flaps extended, but is there a way to really ensure that you don't enter one? (This has always been a thorn in my side)

Also, should you be unfortunate enough to spin at this point, is there ANYTHING at all you can do, being so close to the ground?

<apologies if this is in the wrong forum>
