“As someone new to Health & Safety this course contained a lot of information but it was well explained, given in manageable pieces and interspersed with break out discussions and group conversations. I can highly recommend this course to anyone responsible for Health & Safety within schools, Sherryl is very knowledgeable and provides a lot of very useful templates/forms.”
Jo Lamb, IT/DATA Administrator, Roecroft School.
“The area of Health & Safety is so vast and so important but Sherryl’s course helps you to look at each item step by step and start to put together an action plan to improve H&S in your own workplace. I shall be keeping my slides with notes written alongside them and referring back to them. I would really recommend this course.”
Claire Sherringham, Finance Officer, Rushmere park Academy and Nursery
“Thank you, Sherryl, for an excellent 2-day course. You managed to make what is often a difficult subject interesting and I feel infinitely more knowledgeable. With your help, support and advice I feel a lot more confident.”
