How to Review your School's Health & Safety Policies in Line with DfE Guidance

This webinar will provide headteachers, senior leaders and governors with advice and practical guidance on collating, monitoring and updating a suite of school and college health and safety policies to reduce risk and enhance safety in their setting, and ensure compliance with statutory duties.

The DfE’s guidance ‘Health and safety: responsibilities and duties for schools’ highlights the importance of regularly monitoring and reviewing health and safety policies, ensuring that any incidents are correctly investigated, that appropriate corrective action is taken and communicated with the school or college community, and that improvements are put in place.

This webinar helps schools identify the health and safety policies they must have in place, and explains how and when to review the policies, how to evaluate effectiveness, what might necessitate a change and how to enhance prevention and response measures.
