New School Caretaking and Site Management Health and Safety Code of Practice

The Caretaking Code of Practice has been simplified and updated. It outlines the safe working practices needed to ensure that the significant risks associated with school caretaking and site management activities are suitably controlled.

It now includes a Risk Assessment Checklist for caretaking and site management activities.

Headteachers must ensure that their caretaking/site management staff are familiar with and working to this updated Code of Practice.
