School Fire Safety Made Simple: Insights from our Expert

About this event

Fire safety in schools isn’t just about drills, it’s about prevention, protection, and keeping everyone safe.

With over 1,000 fires in UK schools each year, understanding risks like arson, faulty electrics, and poor compartmentation is critical.

Join our expert-led session to cut through the jargon and get practical steps on policies, risk assessments, and occupancy planning that actually work. Simple, clear, and actionable, this is fire safety made easy for schools.

During the session we will be looking at:

    • Case study focus and fire compartmentation.

    • Fire safety policy and competent fire risk assessments.
    • Occupancy levels - what are the key factors?
