This group is established by Wokingham Local Authority to promote co-operation between the Council, schools and the school workforce, in instigating, developing and carrying out measures to ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees. Part of this involves discussing and reviewing incident statistics and trend analysis.
Committee meetings
The committee meets once a term and comprises school staff, governors and safety representatives, including union representation. The aim of the committee is to improve Health and Safety compliance in LEA controlled schools and identify any general Health and Safety issues or concerns which may affect school employees.
Governing bodies of foundation and voluntary aided schools maintained by Wokingham Local Authority, though separate employers, are also invited to participate in the group.
Terms of reference, minutes etc, are available to be downloaded below.
How to raise concerns
All staff have a responsibility to raise concerns with their managers, and most day to day issues would be expected to be resolved at or below headteacher level. Where issues are of general concern, they may also be raised through representatives on this committee.
