Saima Nisco knows first-hand the challenges of implementing robust health and safety in complex school environments. When she joined Landon School Harmondsworth, a newly established special school for autistic children which opened in October 2024, there were no policies, frameworks, or training structures in place.

As Head of Operations, Saima relied on Judicium’s expertise to build a compliant, effective health and safety system from the ground up.

Saima has used Judicium’s H&S service in many different educational settings, confident of consistently high standards every time. Judicium’s proactive, highly responsive and personalised approach to customers is a key. From fast call-backs to clear factual advice, Saima values the commitment to understanding each individual school.

“The personal touch is invaluable — on top of everything else, you have a dedicated adviser who knows your school, your context, and works with you to get things right.”

For a new school, it was important to prepare a wide range of bespoke policies and procedures quickly and efficiently. Ready-to-use templates and the creation of bespoke documents by Judicium have been a significant time-saver. Ongoing updates and reminders keep the school ahead of legislative changes, saving leadership teams from having to track evolving regulations themselves.

“Judicium does the research for us, meaning we’re always up to date — that’s invaluable.”

Recognising that staff knowledge was key to a safe environment, Saima and her Judicium consultant prioritised a focused training programme. These courses provided her team with CPD-accredited learning from the outset to understand legal requirements, mitigate risks and embed a proactive safety culture. Regular audits delivered by expert Judicium advisers offer both external validation and practical guidance, giving Saima and her leadership team confidence in their H&S compliance.

“These external audits are invaluable. They bring a fresh, expert perspective and ensure nothing is missed.”

Saima is confident that the all-inclusive nature of the service makes it excellent value for money, especially compared to ad hoc audit fees from other providers. With Judicium’s comprehensive support, bespoke documentation and hands-on guidance, Saima’s team was able to quickly implement structured policies and best practices, ensuring full compliance in record time Landon School’s Health & Safety management system is now set up on Judicium’s JEDU portal, providing an easy to use dashboard to monitor compliance. Staff can easily access relevant training, and H&S risks are fully audited, assessed and mitigated. Saima and her team are delighted to know that all their policies and procedures are up to date, and that there is always someone they can ask if they need more help or information.

“Judicium makes my job much easier. They save time, save money and provide absolute peace of mind.”
