First class support for educational settings
Our HR and health & safety consultants help teachers save time and reduce risk.
From identifying classroom hazards to resolving staff issues, we’ll take the weight off your shoulders – so you can give your pupils your full attention.
Managing health & safety in the classroom
Working in education can be a rewarding yet demanding job. So when you need to keep up with strict health & safety guidelines, it can be hard to find the time.
Along with inspections from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities, you also need to meet educational standards like OFSTED. And with all these requirements, managing health & safety is an incredibly time-consuming job.
Our health & safety experts give you the support you need to pass every inspection. You can speak to a consultant whenever you like, get professional support with your risk assessments, and enjoy watertight documentation written by a team of experts.
