Covid-19

Our model Covid-19 risk assessment (January 2022 update) is available here - note, some controls (mainly relating to bubbling and segregation) were removed for the September 2021 reopening of schools in line with Government guidance; however, they are still included at the end of the model in case any need to be reinstated. Changes made to the September 2021 model are highlighted in yellow.

Our original model Covid-19 risk assessment is still available here, the September 2020 update available here and the September 2021 update here - all retained for reference purposes only.

Please find a link to our Statutory and best practice bulding re-opening checklist here 

A model individual assessment, for any staff member who is "vulnerable" can be found here

 

Introduction and contact details

Introduction to the health & safety team, the services provided by the team and contact details. 

This page also includes quick links to all the page, open and traded, provided by the team - however, please note you will need to log in to see the traded pages.

The health & safety team offers:

  • Advice, guidance and support on all health & safety and fire safety matters, by qualified and experienced health & safety and fire safety practitioners
  • Flexible access and response via telephone, email, or personal visits
  • Full programme of training and briefing sessions to enable head teachers and school leaders to meet their responsibilities in health & safety matters

We work closely with our  occupational health colleagues to help ensure a joined up approach to health & safety. We also enjoy a good working relationship with the schools’ HR team, risk and insurance, and facilities management – so hopefully we can help sort most problems quickly and efficiently.

Academies buying back health & safety receive the same service as maintained schools; including access to a comprehensive range of resources available on Walsall Link. Please contact the team for further details.
