Welcome back. I hope you had a good break and are fully recharged for the start of 2019/2020 academic year. I have some news that I would like to share with you:
The start of the new academic year is the time to renew the Health and Safety (H&S) for Schools Service Level (SLA) with my team. You can do this through the Haringey Traded Services website. If you have not yet signed up and would like to know more about this service, please give me a call.
I will send all schools a customer satisfaction survey regarding the H&S for Schools SLA. This survey will help me and my team to deliver a better service to schools. Please participate.
Some of you may have worked directly with Mark Riordan, Interim Health and Safety Adviser. Mark left us at the end of August and I am very happy to announce that Andrew Turton (020 8489 3215 andrew.turton@haringey.gov.uk ) has been appointed as permanent Health and Safety Adviser. Andrew will be the main H&S contact for schools.
The council has become an approved training provider for IOSH Managing Safely. This is an accredited four-day course for school managers: I recommend that heads and business managers take this course. We are planning to run the course on 15, 22, 29 January and 5 February 2020. The course will be advertised on the Haringey Traded Services website, Health and Safety for School’s module, where I publish the H&S training courses we offer.
The council has reviewed the Schools H&S Policy and the Educational Visits Procedure. The documents are pending final approval, which hopefully will be soon, and they will be published in the Communication section of the Traded Services Website.
