With 20 years plus in schools we are able to apply HSE guidance to schools in a way that means you can prioritise funds and time into learning.

First Aid
All workplaces must legally provide a level of first aid provision for their workers. Schools have an even greater responsibility because of the vulnerability of the young people they cater for.
At SchoolPro Safety we believe every member of staff has a role to play in this and therefore should have some training. To support schools we have developed a raft of training course that in our all-inclusive packages are free to all staff. Even when purchasing courses separately our training is amongst the most competitive on the market, at times half the price of organisations who deal with a wider market than just schools.

Frequently Asked Questions
If we choose SchoolPro Safety to support our health and safety provision, are we locked into a long-term contract?
No. Our best value and service come from our annual subscription. We focus on building strong relationships with schools and hope that this will be the reason they continue using our services year after year – rather than locking them into long-term agreements.
We are tired of different advisors visiting our school for formal inspections. What is your approach?
We believe in developing long-term relationships. Each school is assigned a dedicated advisor who will support you through a guided review of your health and safety provision. Your advisor remains available as a single point of contact, ensuring consistency and familiarity. We want our advisors to be seen as an extension of your team, working towards shared goals and objectives.
What happens after your visit?
In the first year, we focus on understanding your school’s specific needs and ensuring compliance. After the initial visit, your advisor will work with you remotely to help maintain statutory compliance and build strong foundations. Most schools continue working with us beyond this stage to develop robust, time-saving policies and procedures that enhance health and safety for staff and students.
How is your service different from others?
SchoolPro Safety is run by teachers and school managers with expertise in health and safety. Having worked in schools, we understand the unrealistic expectations, barriers, and challenges you face. This unique perspective enables us to provide practical, effective solutions that save time, reduce workload, and improve safety for staff and students.
We already have strong health and safety provision but want to improve further. Will we have to change all our systems, policies, and procedures?
Not at all. We offer access to our industry-leading portal, which provides document storage, auditing tools, risk management resources, training, and incident logs. You are welcome to use as much or as little of it as suits your needs. If your existing systems work well, we will adapt to work with you.
We have gaps in our training. Can you help?
Yes! We provide a range of online and face-to-face training options to meet all your health and safety needs. Full subscribers receive free access to all online training courses. Face-to-face training is heavily discounted, with a one-day Emergency First Aid course available for as little as £35 per person.
How often will you visit our school?
That’s up to you. Our annual subscription includes at least one guaranteed visit, but as a school’s health and safety provision improves, some choose to conduct reviews online. For schools needing additional support, we aim to provide the best value possible for their needs.
What does your audit involve?
We prefer to call it a ‘guided review’ rather than an audit. A single-day visit isn’t enough to fairly assess risk in a complex school environment. Instead, we tailor the review to your school’s specific needs. While every review includes a short site walk, it may also focus on areas like COSHH compliance or first aid provision. The review becomes a live document that evolves over time. After each visit, we provide a one-hour online follow-up to set development targets and apply the SchoolPro Safety seal of approval.
