Common Challenges
Does this sound familiar?
- Health & safety responsibilities sit with an already stretched SBM
- Contractor paperwork is difficult to keep on top of
- Policies need updating but never reach the top of the list
- Fire safety actions remain open for months
- Educational visits create additional workload
- Governors want assurance that compliance is being monitored
- You need support but not a full-time health & safety manager
SchoolSafe Systems helps schools bridge that gap
