IOSH Managing Safely In Schools

Overview

This course is a complete training programme for the management of health and safety in schools. Based upon years of experience and delivery, the course is recognised by many local authorities as the core competency for their school’s senior leaders.

The target audience includes head teachers, SLT members, School Business Managers, heads of department and health and safety coordinators. In schools where the governing body is the employer, this course will also be of benefit to governors with health and safety responsibilities.

The course is ideal as an induction for new managers, part of ongoing professional development and also refresher training.
