When contractors work on a school or nursery site, safeguarding comes first. Before any work begins, you should be confident about who will be on site and how the work will be managed around children.
Background checks
Every member of our team is fully background checked, including enhanced DBS. Ask any contractor to confirm the checks their team holds before they arrive on site.
Planning around pupils
Good contractors plan work to keep children and staff safe. That can mean working during holidays, fencing off the work area, agreeing safe routes for deliveries and keeping noisy work away from lessons.
Clear communication
You should know who is on site, when, and who to contact. A single point of contact makes it easy to raise questions or change plans.
Experience with schools
We work with multiple academies, multi-academy trusts and local councils, and we understand the safeguarding standards schools expect. As one school told us, it is never easy working around the school day, but the team was extremely accommodating to their needs.
Leaving the site tidy
At the end of each day, and at handover, the site should be safe, secure and tidy, ready for children to use.
