Health & Safety Training
Expert-led compliance training for school and academy estates teams
Managing a school estate involves a significant number of regulatory responsibilities. Under The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers are legally required to provide employees with adequate health and safety training.
For schools and academies, this training also serves as important evidence of compliance during audits and risk inspections.
S2e offers a comprehensive range of compliance training courses designed for the education sector, from individual schools and independent schools with heritage estates through to multi-academy trusts and their site teams.
Sessions are delivered face-to-face on your premises, at the S2e offices, or online via live webinar, and can be tailored to suit your schedule - whether a focused two-hour briefing, a half-day, or a full-day programme.
Our training is delivered directly by S2e's Health and Safety Consultants, who have hands-on experience of the operational reality of school estates. Because every estate is different - with varying building types, ages, and risk profiles, our sessions allow participants to ask questions about their specific buildings and receive practical, site-relevant guidance.
Our courses also align with the DfE's Good Estate Management for Schools (GEMS) framework, which highlights the need for a competent, trained workforce to maintain safe and compliant learning environments.
