Education

Where safe places power learning. Childcare settings, schools, colleges and universities must protect people across classrooms, labs and estates. We provide practical support to meet duties and keep staff, pupils and visitors safe.

How We Help

Term time rules everything. We build simple steps that work across schools, colleges and trusts, from older buildings to busy drop-off times. You get clear responsibilities, safe premises and consistent records across sites.

  • Asbestos management: inspections, registers and practical management plans.
  • Fire risk management: assessments and improvements suited to education settings.
  • Environmental and water hygiene: including Legionella checks and records.
  • Building Surveying and Project Management: plus PD (Principal Designer) and CDM 2015 (Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015) support for works.
  • Health and safety: audits and inspections with clear action tracking.
  • Pool safety where relevant: aligned to HSG 179, the Health and Safety Executive guidance on managing health and safety in swimming pools.
  • Training: courses for leaders, site teams and contractors.

For assemblies, performances or events over 200 capacity, Martyn’s Law duties may apply. We can support with awareness training and Security Risk Assessments.
