Health & Safety Statement of Intent

We recognise the importance of ensuring the health, safety and welfare of our staff and pupils and fully accept our obligations both to employees and others who may be affected by our activities.

 To Meet These Obligations, we Will:

 ·         Ensure that health & safety is embedded into all our activities and that effective health

·         & safety management systems, including a health and safety plan, are in place;

·         Ensure that suitable risk assessments and controls are in place to minimise risk and to prevent accidents and cases of work-related ill health;

·         Consult our employees on matters affecting their health and safety;

·         Promote a positive health and safety culture where employees and their representatives are able to raise health and safety issues and are empowered to work safely;

·         Provide information, instruction and supervision for employees to enable them to do their work safely;

·         Ensure all employees are competent to do their tasks, and are given adequate training;

·         Provide and maintain safe plant and equipment and ensure that substances are handled and used safely;

·         Effective leadership by governors, the Executive Head Teacher, Deputy Executive Heads and senior staff;

·         Participation of all employees; and open and responsive communication.

·         Provide an environment in which staff can work without fear of violence, intimidation or threats; and regularly review our health and safety performance by monitoring and auditing.

 We are committed to continuous improvement in health & safety and will develop policies, systems and procedures to achieve this aim. We are also committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for staff and pupils; this will be achieved by:

·         Effective leadership by Governors, Executive Head Teacher, Deputy Executive Heads and senior staff;

·         Participation of all employees; and open and responsive communication.

 The successful implementation of this policy requires total commitment at all levels. Every employee will be made aware of this statement; copies will be available on the intranet.

Subject Access Requests

Subject Access Request Form

Subject Access Requests – A response must be made within one calendar month starting from the date after we have received the request, or if your identity is unknown to us, when we have received all the information necessary to confirm your identity.  We aim to respond to all requests as soon as possible within this timeframe.  Where a response is complex and proving difficult to address, we may provide information that is available to us while continuing to work through additional information and in such cases the timescale for our full response may be extended by a further two months.  The requester will be advised of this extension, and will receive an explanation of why the extension is necessary, within one month of the receipt of the request.  

During school holiday periods, particularly the summer holidays where our schools will be closed for around six weeks, our ability to respond promptly to requests will be affected.  Subject access requests made during school closures, principally the summer holiday period but also during other holiday periods, will not be actioned until staff return to work after the holiday. This is because  the timeframe for a subject access request begins the day after the request is received by the school. The school will receive the request when the email is monitored.  Where a request is made immediately before our schools break up for the holidays, staff will, where possible, seek to reply in full prior to the start of the holidays, but where a request is complex, the requester will be advised that due to time constraints, the school will take an extra two calendar months to fulfil the requests. Requests made during the school holidays may not be acknowledged until the school reopens after the holiday, as due to the school being closed, no one will be there to monitor emails, answer the phone or to pick up the post.
