Each term the Principal, DFO and Corporate Services and Brand Identity Manager meet to discuss H&S topics affecting the Academy. We met at the end of June to review this year’s H&S objectives (which can be found on the Calc here) and to consider what objectives to set for 2023/34. We are proposing that next year we focus on the following:

  • To continue to improve the Academy’s H&S culture 
  • To build on and increase the current communication with staff about H&S
  • To commission a fire risk assessment from a third party and action its recommendations
  • To embed knowledge and understanding of evacuation and lockdown procedures.

Please let SHZ or JCS know if you have any suggestions regarding these.

The H&S Working Party which includes our H&S Link Governor, the TU Representative, and the Curriculum Leaders for PE, Science and Technology, held its termly meeting to review H&S at Chelsea Academy on Friday. Together we reviewed the above objectives as well as the recent first aid reports and incidents, the latest fire drills and recent lockdown practice (guidance can be found here) and other H&S concerns. 

Please contact Jeni Cousans or Sara Hopkins with any comments or questions concerning H&S.
