New headteacher/business manager support

We know that starting at a new school as a headteacher or premises manager can be a daunting prospect even if you are not new to the responsibilities. We have developed a unique service designed to provide you with one-to-one support to take you step by step through identifying the health and safety requirements of your role.

Essential health and safety training at your site

Our comprehensive training packages are fundamental in supporting implementation of your health and safety management systems provided under the health and safety advice service.

Training sessions are delivered by an experienced health and safety representative who will advise on practical management solutions, in line with legal requirements. Our most popular training sessions include:

• Health and safety leadership for headteachers and managers
• Safe management of premises: General, fire and asbestos
• Personal safety
• Risk assessment: Essential risk management

Pay-as-you-go health and safety advice

This service offers you an easy solution to access help and support as and when needed, delivered in blocks of one hour and charged at an hourly rate.

You can purchase this service for any purpose, for example:

• Telephone advice and guidance on a live issue
• Incident investigation
• Providing support during an HSE or Fire Service intervention
• Undertaking contractor approval
• Observation of lesson or premises safety and reporting recommendations
• Anything else you need help and support on

This service is useful when you unexpectedly find you need health and safety advice, or if you just want some extra on-site support.

Policy and guidance access only

This service is ideal if you have your own health and safety representatives but require access to up-to-date policies and guidance. Let us take the hard work out of keeping up to date and developing guidance for your teams.

Please note: This service does not provide you with access to 'competent health and safety support' as required by law. This is available through the health and safety advice service or our pay-as-you-go advice and support service.
