Health and Safety - Services for Schools

All Schools are required by law to have access to competent Health and Safety advice, which is where we come in. Services for Schools can give your school a realistic health check that for whatever reason you may not have been able to provide yourself.

A bespoke and user friendly value for money service that will not only ensure your staff are save and secure but also be compliant with the law. This enables the Head and the Leadership Team to concentrate on the school KPI’s and the children.

Time spent now addressing and dealing with issues will mitigate the impact of an incident or accident that may attract reputational and HSE interest. A school may never recover from a HSE inquiry or prosecution. .

Our experts will become part of your team, we don’t do red tape and we don’t just tick boxes. We find solutions. Our service will always be client centred and tailored to suit your needs agenda and mitigate risk.

Diane Dimond

Petroc College

“The experience we have had with Services for Schools and the positive working relationships that we have developed have left us feeling very optimistic about the decision to use their Partnership”

Redfield Educate MAT

“The ethical approach attracted us to Services for Schools. They took care looking after our problems and as a school we are now in a much better position than we have been for a number of years. The Senior Leadership Team have learnt so much.”

Mr. Richard Black

Headteacher

“The speed of response from Services for Schools is amazing – professional, understanding, supportive and business like. They are also value for money.”

Ms. Tiffany White

Burser

“Thank you for all the splendid work you did on the restructuring exercise and the consultation with the Trade Unions with regard to merging schools and Trust status. I and Trust members appreciate that this takes time, often over and above the allocation of time we paid for. This is certainly valuable to a school with such a very tight budget this year.”
