Episode 1 - Pupil Access to Risky Areas

Join us for Episode 1 of The Safer Schools Podcast where we discuss pupil access to risky areas, including:

• What is meant by 'risky areas' and how you can identify them
• What the law requires you to do, including the requirements set out in the National Minimum Standards for Boarding Schools
• The common issues we come across in schools.... and
• Some practical advice on how to manage these areas

So, if you’re a Health & Safety Manager, Bursar, Estates Director, Maintenance Manager, or indeed ANYONE responsible for overseeing Health & Safety, Estates compliance, or boarding provision in a school, then this is the episode for you!

Let’s start a conversation on how we can make our schools safer!
