Join us for Episode 2 of The Safer Schools Podcast where we discuss event safety, including:
- The importance of getting it right
- How to plan, manage and review events in terms of Health & Safety
- Factors to consider in your event risk assessments/event safety plans; and
- How to plan for incidents and emergencies.
When they’re managed well, events can greatly enhance your school’s reputation and obviously generate much needed additional income….. but the costs of getting it wrong potentially are massive!
So, if you’re a School Events Manager or Co-ordinator, Bursar, Health & Safety Manager, School Business Manager, or indeed ANYONE responsible for overseeing the planning and management of school events, then this is the episode for you!
Let’s start a conversation on how we can make our schools safer!
