Episode 13 - "To RIDDOR, or not to RIDDOR, that is the question!"

Join us for Episode 13 of The Safer Schools Podcast as we seek to demystify the reporting requirements of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 2013, including:

• What is RIDDOR 2013
• What needs to be reported
• Who needs to report
• When to report
• How to report
• Talking through some examples in our segment "To RIDDOR, or not to RIDDOR, that is the question!"
• What happens after a RIDDOR report has been submitted
• The consequences of failing to report; and
• Additional considerations, such as internal reporting processes, policies, and reporting to your insurers.

So, if you’re responsible for overseeing Estates, Health & Safety, first aid, medical care, or compliance in a school, then this is the episode for you!

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