Health & Safety (Open Pages)
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.

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

The health & safety team offers:

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.
