Covid-19 Asymptomatic testing in schools risk assessment - Template
In response to the Government plan to re-open schools full-time from the beginning of the autumn term, the Judicium Education Health & Safety consultant team have reviewed the schools re-opening risk assessment template. The new version includes the new guidance/advice. Separate guidance is available for early years, further education colleges and for special schools.
A summary of the key part of this guidance is included before the risk assessment template. Amendments to the template are highlighted in blue. In addition to the risk assessment there are two posters which schools could use to promote: a) that the school is COVID-19 safe and b) to remind occupants of measures to follow. The first one is aimed at all workplaces the second specifically at schools. Both would be good to display within school receptions and staff areas to remind employees and visitors of procedures in place. Please see the following links:
- That the school is COVID-19 safe
- To remind occupants of measures to follow
The new template is now available on our template site within the COVID-19 folder. Please see: COVID-19–V2–July 2020 RA Template.
For any further questions please contact your assigned Judicium Education Consultant.
