Guidance on our subscription service and finding guidance and support in our secure area

All schools have a legal, moral, and economic duty to ensure the health and safety of pupils, visitors, contractors and members of the public.

We provide a free statutory service to help and support community and voluntary controlled schools with health and safety.

Subscription service

We offer an annual subscription service which academy, foundation, free, independent and voluntary aided schools can buy in.
