- Root cause analysis and support with RIDDOR reporting, then actions that stick
Who we support
Built for the way schools and trusts actually run
Your health and safety responsibilities sit across site managers, catering teams, labs and workshops — not just a policy file. We work with the people doing the work.
Multi-academy trusts
One consistent health and safety framework across your schools — the same inspection standards, documentation and reporting — with room for each site's own buildings and curriculum.
Independent schools
Practical cover for boarding houses, sports facilities, labs, workshops and estates projects, reported in a way governors and proprietors can act on.
Trusts we work with
Education services
Everything a competent person would cover
Take the whole service, or start with the piece you need most — a review before the new term, help after an incident, or training for your site teams.
Competent person advice
Named, ongoing access to an experienced health and safety practitioner for day-to-day questions, escalation when something goes wrong, and advice before you commit to a decision.
Audits and inspections
Planned inspections of premises and curriculum areas — science labs, design and technology workshops, kitchens, sports facilities and outdoor sites — plus management system audits, each reported with prioritised actions.
Incident investigation
Structured investigation of accidents, near misses and dangerous occurrences: root cause analysis, support with RIDDOR reporting to the HSE where a report is required, and follow-up actions.
Policy, risk assessment and documentation
Written, reviewed and simplified policies, risk assessments and safe systems for curriculum areas, premises, off-site activities and contractor work — documents your teams will actually use.
Bespoke training for school staff
Sessions built around your sites and your risks: fire warden duties, COSHH for site and catering teams, risk assessment for senior leads, and health and safety induction for new site and facilities staff.
Reporting for governors and trustees
Clear management information that shows trustees, governors and inspection teams what is in place, what has been done, and where a decision or investment is needed.
How support is arranged
Choose the level of cover you need
Retained support
Ongoing monthly cover as your competent person: advice on call, scheduled inspections, policy reviews and regular reporting to school or trust leadership.
One-off review
A single inspection and gap analysis against your duties, with a written report and a prioritised action plan you can work through yourselves.
Agreed days of support
A set number of days to use as the year demands — incident investigation, pre-opening audits of new buildings, contractor assurance or staff training.
Whichever you choose, you receive a written proposal covering scope, deliverables, timings and cost before any work starts.
How education support works
From first conversation to ongoing cover
- 1
Conversation about your sites
We discuss your buildings, curriculum, recent incidents, staffing and what you need cover for.
- 2
Written proposal
Scope, deliverables, inspection frequency, reporting format, timings and cost agreed before any work starts.
- 3
Inspections, advice and training
We carry out the agreed inspections and audits, answer questions as they arise, and deliver training around the school day.
- 4
Reporting and review
Prioritised findings and actions, management reporting for governors or trustees, and a review as your needs change.
School questions
What headteachers and trust leads ask us first
Yes. Retained support gives your school or trust ongoing access to an experienced health and safety practitioner for day-to-day advice, escalation when something goes wrong, policy updates and management reporting.
Corporate training
Accredited and bespoke health, safety and quality training for your teams — closed cohorts, short essentials sessions and management system skills, delivered on site, live online or blended.
