Health and Safety

This guidance aims to assist community schools, including community special needs schools, in understanding their responsibilities under health and safety legislation and to ensure that suitable measures are in place to protect both staff and pupils. It recognises that children with special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities are educated within mainstream settings. Therefore, effective risk management should support inclusion by ensuring access to learning while addressing significant risks sensibly and proportionately.
