Part 3: Arrangements for Health and Safety
Risk Assessment
We will complete risk assessments for the unique requirements and premises of each different school environment, and take action related to the risk assessment planned for each programme.
Training
We will brief all mentors on arrival at their placement school/college on the emergency safety protocol.
We will train all staff who work remotely in the ‘safe working from home’ checklist: computer height, risk of RSI, fatigue due to increased screen time usage.
Consultation
We will consult routinely with staff on health and safety matters and formally when they are reviewed at our annual AGM.
Evacuation
We will make sure all employees in the school/college where we work are aware of evacuation routes in the initial briefing before mentoring to start.
