RIDDOR in Education: Getting Incident Reporting Right
Most education organisations have processes for recording accidents and incidents. But knowing when an incident becomes reportable under RIDDOR isn't always straightforward.
Uncertainty around what needs to be reported, when action needs to be taken and who is responsible can mean incidents are missed, escalated too late or not followed up effectively. This reflects the central campaign message that RIDDOR gaps are often caused by uncertainty rather than inaction.
When an incident happens in an education setting, having an accident-reporting process is only part of the picture. Employers also need confidence that incidents are being recognised and escalated appropriately, reporting decisions are properly recorded and any underlying risks are addressed.
Join our Health & Safety expert for a practical session exploring RIDDOR in an education setting, the common gaps that can leave organisations exposed and the steps you can take to strengthen your approach.
We will be covering:
RIDDOR requirements and how they apply in education settings
Common reporting gaps and areas of uncertainty
Roles, responsibilities and effective incident reporting processes
Incident investigation, record-keeping and risk assessment reviews
Strengthening RIDDOR compliance and wider Health & Safety arrangements
